    I've looked at a few guides on the subject but didnt know which one was best to follow. I was wondering what are some of the ways you have overclocked your GPU and had good results or a guide that helped you understand the subject. Thanks!

    That one's pretty good.

    Results are:
    You can probably achieve 5 ~ 10 FPS more on games.

    It all depends how much heat your GPU can withstand, etc...

    ALL are different.

    For example.
    My old MOBO had a 8600m GT which I could only overclock to 555 core clock, if I went higher, the system would become unstable and reboot...

    My past mobo had an 8600m GT, which I overclocked up to 625 core clock...
    (But that was a dodgy motherboard whose technician did not even apply thermal paste, so it got replaced again).
