I was thinking that i will be upgrading my gpu soon and i will probably just ebay my gtx 285.

in the mean time i was thinking of giving it a bit more power with a small OC.
I hear EVGA precision tool is a good program and i have only used it to increase my fan speeds.

Any advice before i change the core clocks and fry my gpu

Only time I'd recommend not using afterburner is when it isn't compatible with your card (ie non-reference non-msi cards).

Just go slow. Don't aim for the stars to start.
My non-reference non-MSI card supports Afterburner, including voltage...

It's a reference PCB, That's what I meant. Cards like the Asus DCII, Gainward Phantom, Palit Sonic, Gigabyte Ultra Durable, ect are not supported by Afterburner. The only non-reference PCBs supported by afterburner are MSI-designed.

Most people have covered all the necessities already, especially about overvolting. Do bit by bit and test for stability, but honestly if you're doing like a 3% overclock it shouldn't be a problem.

On another note, when you upgrade you should keep your old one for physx/folding. Unless you're strapped for cash I completely understand and it's not my place, but just throwing out a suggestion, good luck!
