    Thanks will try.
    Thanks to Donmarkoni for helping me out through PMs as well.
    Will report air clocks with max voltage as soon as its fixed up.
    On 1.082v the max this PNY 470 will do it ~850/1050 3dmarks.

    Has there been an acceptable safe limit in voltages established for the 470/480 using a water cooling solution? We already know that 1.138v is safe since most programs support it, just trying to findout the limit for voltages regardless of how low the temperatures are under water cooling. Also is there a visual guide for us noobs to mod a BIOS safely, I have found the instructions a little lacking.

    I know my GTX 480 scales great up to 1.1v.... on water 1.3v seems fine and get a little better clock but not much. More than that might not be of any benefit so try testing different settings up to 1.3v to start and see what gains can be had with each setting.

    my GTX 470 on air will do Vantage at 872Mhz, with 1.13V's but adding more voltage, just gets hotter, and crashes, so the added voltage does not help me on air, but I bet it would on water. or outside in the winter air.

    Wow 872Mhz is an amazing overclock for any 470, I can't even get past 852MHz on 1.138 volts! When your chip starts to get hotter in a way that rises quickly you are going beyond the limit of that chip, kind of like a car going into the redline in RPMs! Also when you see little increases in MHz and you are dumping voltages into it, better start backing off!
