As the title says, anyone know how to do this, using software instead of bios? I don't have this option in my BIOS, and I read a guide here:

That suggests to do so.

DON'T oc your pci-e speeds. VERY BAD.

Really? Wonder why they said this on that article....did you check it out? I think they only mean by a few mHzs, but I wasn't gonna try it until WAY later anyway..I'm not one to jump into things that I'm unfamiliar with

i. e. I'm WAY cautious!

Well, I'm pretty sure upping the speeds of anything pci can damage your hardware.

I also heard good things about raising the PCI-E bus speeds. Mine's at 107MHz and I'm able to get 5-10 MHz more out of the core.

Oh, you can use nTune or ClockGen for it.

*EDIT*

Or SysTool (VERY handy tool anyway)

I ran my 6800GS at 110mhz for a few months and nothing has gone bad. But as other people have had problems going even a few up from default, stay away from overclocking it.
