I think he is asking for a good program to over clock his card with or if it is better to over clock through a bios flash . but I would have to say stick with things like EVGA precession or MSI after burner .

It really doesn't make sense to think about overclocking a card before you get it. Performance may be more than enough at stock settings with the applications used. CCC will allow you to overclock as well as set the fan, so will MSI Afterburner.

well, so i can increase my voltage...i think:confused:

No. Not at all. System memory is completely separate from your graphics card. Go to the Overclocking/Cooling section, there are OC'ing guides stickied there that you should read to get a general understanding.

Don't bother, it won't make any real difference. Leave the RAM at it's stock frequency and timings. Since you are new to overclocking, once again I suggest you read some overclocking guides for the basics.

Your motherboard is fine. You are the one that needs to understand the basics of overclocking. Your motherboard has all the options you need to overclock. :)

List your system specs in the User CP and be sure to tick the box to display them. For your RAM, post a link to it (newegg or whatever) so we can see the specs of it.

they should clock up not too bad depending on IC's

But b4 you do anything take erockers advice and educate yourself alittle b4 overclocking or you could be a very unhappy person

learn what the different parts of your computer are and do before you try to change things you dont understand, you will reap the benifits. do alot of reading there is a wealth of knowledge here for you to learn,its not as simple as moving a slider and all of a sudden your l33t. the issues being if and when you hit a problem (and you will) you wont know whats causing the problem,how to fix it or even worse end up with dead graphics card/processor/motherboard.

:banghead:

this is what others have tried saying, your first post seemed to be i want to overclock my graphics card, then you seemed to be talking about adjusting your memory speed for i assume overclocking your cpu, and now you need to know about what i think is cpu voltage with no regard for memory voltage, timings etc.

what do you want to do.

Voltage? Which voltage? North bridge? South bridge? Voltage to cpu cores? Voltage for CPU-NB? Need more information from you. :)

Being in a hurry to over clock is never a good idea . If you want help I can tell you to read read read learn . You know nothing and want it all now . I can tell . You are to impatient and that is going to fuck things up really fast for you . You need to learn what you are talking about as well . Your OP tells me you want to OC the video card now you want to crank up every things all at once NOT GOING to happen . I will not help some one so impatient they will not take the time to read up on the parts they want to oc and post accordingly . This is also to say your all over the place and your grammar is really bad as well . So once you find out what you want and give us all a clear picture of this then maybe we can help you . Till then read up on things and good luck . I am out !
