Overclocking a vid card possibly?

[eCurb]

Well my specs are in my sig..

I have a stock cooler on my 6600GT, is there anyway of really oc'ing it so i can see a bit of a performance boost in the games I play without damaging the card?

Scored 19000 in 3DMark01 and 3000 in 3DMark05.

Or would I need to invest in a VGA cooler to do what im talking about.

there will probably be a performance boost when you check the framerate of a game. But I don't think it will be really noticable to the eye. Do you know what temperatures you are getting when stressed? If it isn't too high, you could probably up the speeds a bit, then recheck the temps and repeat.
Overclocking is always good. Stock speeds represent wasted money.

edit.. btw this doesnt belong in Xtreme Overclocking.

I hate being the new guy and not knowing where to post certain things.

My appologies for the wrong-area posted :[

I'm using PC Wizard 06 and I couldn't seem to find where it gives the temp. of the card.

6600GT @ 580/1160

1024/768 Everything at medium 2X Fsaa and 4X AF I get perfect framerates and the framerate nog longer drops :woot:

It is very noticiable :toast:

[eCurb]

Ah yeah it is.

Tried serveral different core's and memory and just.. bleh nothin worked.

Scoring like 16000 in 01 :(

Default clocks: 300/450 (2d) 500/450 (3d low power) 500/450 (3d performance)

Perhaps someone can give me some pointers?
