    Return that card, and add maybe $20-30 to it, and get a 9800 off of ebay or something.

    OK, I'm gonna be honest, but a small 20MHz upgrade sucks ass. Find a way to get a refund, and buy something better or Overclock your 5200.

    How would the seller know if you have overclocked or not? The fact is they have no way to prove you did, and a 20MHz OC is not exactly a risk even on stock passive cooling.

    I think you made a very poor decision and most people here with some sense would agree.
    what he said. hell, you could have saved the money and just flashed the 5200 to a 5500. thats what i did with mine then sold it on ebay. got a few extra bucks because i flashed(yes i told them it was flashed.).

    Nice to see a very old thread reopened, lol. Nice upgrade though if you did still have the 5500. I had to upgrade my processor recently as it died one me along with my MOBO so I went with a Phenom II Quad core for the hell of it.

    Well, this unresolved thread has really been nagging at me and stressing me out every day for the past three years. Glad to see the issue finally put to rest!
