Overclocking EVGA GeForce Superclocked 8600GTS 256MB

So i loaded the ati tool, and i clicked find max core "figured it would find the maximum safe setting for the graphics card" well it went up until the screen when hay-wire then the computer restarted and its back to defaults. What is find max core and how do i safely overclock this card with the stock cooling?

It's already superclocked...I think that's as high as you're going to get it lol. Evga is usually pretty good about finding the max stable clocks for a card and making them the superclocked versions.

Well you probably won't on stock cooling and without voltmodding it

Whats voltmodding?

It's when you raise the volts going to the GPU of memory to allow for more overclocking..it also produces more heat though, so like I said before you do anything you will probably want to get another cooler.
