[Phippsp]

Finally got my computer built you can see the specs down at the bottom of the screen. And got a few questions on overclocking I know the forum posted that is GREAT information on overclocking blew up my old computer tring it but luckily my new one was on its way Well my CPU is running at 30-32C which as far as I know is good from what I see. And my video card I would like to overclock to atleast the power of the 6800ultra and someone gave me 2 good websites on overclocking the videocard and I lost them on my old computer. My CPU, Video Card, 2 hard drives are all water cooled and I think it is pretty kewl im really happy that I finally got my computer setup and working but now my next set is to overclock it and well I really don't want to mess up now. So any helpful tips or information that I could get would be great. Mabye a nice past experience story or some DO's and Don'ts hehe. Thank ya

well i have no experience using overclocking software with nvidia cards... but i use the radeon omega drivers www.omegadrivers.net and they have nvidia ones too. im not sure how well they work.
you need overclocking software, which should come with omega drivers. however, dont just run into overclocking. first note the differences between the 6800gt and ultra.
1. 50mhz increase core.
2. 100mhz increase memory.
3. the ultra uses much more power, so the 6800gt at the same clock WILL NOT perform as well, so try to get the core o/ced 75mhz.
i normally dont suggest overclocking, but if you ARE using water cooling, depending on the cooler, you should be fine. try getting 3dmark03 or 3dmark05 and test to make sure that the card is running stable!
