No, raising the AGP voltage won't help a vid card overclock either.... it MIGHT make the card able to run at a higher FSB, but it won't affect the core stability. If you want to go to extremes to overclock the vid card itself, you'll have to do a volt mod to it. The memory and core are seperate mods 99% of the time. Xtremesystems.org 's forum has alot of links to volt mods, but they're not for the timid. Volt modding is a great way to wreck hardware. (As I know all too well. )

no i wont mess with that, i had to turn up the voltage on the agp to 1.8 just to make it run stable though... I called ati and they said it was fine! So I feel good, i have my card at 351/702 and Im not going to go any higher..... I also have a side videocard cooler blowing air on it also, along with the 3 other intake fans, and the 2 outtake fans.....

I guess this is all in my sig anyways!

That is some monster rig, must be a tad bit noisy.
