want to overclock my ti4200. Now I see some say they increase voltage or add ram to their video cards ?? I'm familiar with using coolbits, but how and where do you add ram and increase voltage to your video card. And more importantly, when is it needed?
Thanks
 
?? don't know where you got the adding RAM idea from - for one thing, you can't :p

You can overclock cards just fine through the nVidia driver control panel - it should have a frequency adjustment tab.

Only mad people volt mod their cards - it involves soldering resistors to the controller chips on the card, and comes with about a 500% greater risk of killing it. Even then the gains may be marginal.

<-- is mad, btw
