By editting some configuration files, we were able to use RivaTuner to overclock the Asus EAH3650 TOP even further. After some adjustments, we were able to get the card up to 972MHz / 1071MHz (GPU/ Mem) just with the stock cooler. That's approximately 172MHz up from the already overclocked GPU and memory! The card truly lives up to its Top Overclocking Performance namesake. 3Dmark06 was run to determine how much performance there was to gain.

[...]The ASUS EAH3650 TOP retails at the same price as the stock 8600GT cards but offers more performance. As such, it follows in the footsteps of its elder breathen by offering great bang for buck. Furthermore, ASUS engineers have made use of the reduced power consumption and heat production of the RV635 to provide a faster solution with minimal increase in price to users. With the stock cooler, we were able to bring the card up to yet higher clocks and gain additional performance with an insignificant increase in heat. Although the arrival of the Radeon HD3650 in the market is somewhat late, it would easily fill the gap for light to moderate gaming without breaking the bank. With its low heat production, the card can certainly find its way into HTPC setups and the fact that it is capable of Component and HDMI outputs certainly helps push for it. With its low price, decent performance and great overclockability, one can exchange their red packets for a red card this Lunar New Year.
