Depending on my money situation in the next few months I am planning on a new processor and video card to knock that up a few notches.

Course I could get higher clocks on my card if I choose to Flash my BIOS and increase the PCIE Voltage.

eventually I may get around to doing it.

Unlikely, the way to increace you clocks is it voltmod the card itself. What you may find is that you get better performance when upping the PCI-E freq though. If I have OCd my CPU, if I leave the PCI-E freq at 100 instead of 105, I drop 20fps in 3d applications.

Definitly wont be volt modding.. :/ Score is good enough for me.

Hey Ste do u have any cooling for ur GPU? Is it even necessary for the GPU to have its own 3rd party cooler if ur going to overclock it?

 

[b1gapl]

I'd say the 8 series, does a pretty good job for stock cooling, even with overclocking. It would be necessary for an aftermarket, if for some reason, your graphic card is above the norm or doing very heavy overclocking.

Stock.

As with CPU overclocks, aftermarket only needed if you want to get highest clock.
