do you REALLY need to? Seriously, just put the damn thing together and play some games. When you figure out how to overclock the Video Card, don't forget the RAM and the northbridge and the southbridge ... oh, yeah, the AGP port, the USB bus, the serial bus and the all important parallel port ..........................................................

I built the PC, it is done, I am just wondering how you would overclock the Vid card. I probably would not O/C it because my PC run fairly hot, and I dont want anything getting damaged.

The heat range is 31-38 C, on normal programs, 40-48C on high graphics and intense programs

I dont know if that is somewhat normal or not.

Many times when you go into properties you'll have a scrollbar to move up and down. This will allow you to control the exact clock speed and mem speed directly without having to do anything extraneous to the card.

Wow...there are so many variables. Some cards you will fry immediately and some you won't. It depends on the card.

Actually, it depends on what kind of RAM the card is using. For instance, I overclocked my Radeon 9800 to 9800 pro speeds with no problem...because the ram is samsung ram. But some 9800 cards come with seitek ram, which will fry immediately with more mhz.

What card are you trying to overclock? The first step is flashing the bios.
