Yep, then use the Find Max Core and Find Max Mem. ATiTool then starts to slowly increase the core and/or mem clock frequency while testing for artifacts. When an artifact occurs the clock frequency is then decreased by a small increment. It also starts a heat-up phase which loads the GPU and checks for stability, the heat-up phase is started after a certain period of time and you should let it run it. Don't do anything while ATiTool is doing these, though.
