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:
http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4190&s=7
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!

 

[RickJS]

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

Yea its true it will i know =P I fried my very first PCI-E vid card only cranking 10mhz higher then default...DONT DO IT!!!! lol about crapped myself doing that to a $170 vid card...thx god for neweggs RMA lol

lol didn't know if affected it that much where you can fry a card... Guess I shouldn't of tried 115 with my new 8800GTX... Oh well...

 

[terraprime]

well it could of been B/c i have a cheap MB or something...or i just got a bad vid card...it just didnt work when i changed it...and even after it restarted

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.

So how do you do it then?

Oh, you can use nTune or ClockGen for it.

*EDIT*

Or SysTool (VERY handy tool anyway)

 

[terraprime]

yea Ntune is wat i used...I bet my vid card was weak lol

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.
