    Overcloaking seems to be all the rage at the moment, but keep in mind there is a reason manufactures set these defaults, they are like that for a reason.

    If you wish to overclock then try Ati tool (I realise it says Ati but it works with Nvidia just as well). I would not go above 600 for Core clock or 500 for memory as you seem to be fairly inexperienced, If you see artifacts (Blocky pixels) Restore it to defaults and let it cool down.

    By overclocking you risk burning out your graphics card and making your entire unit useless, Keep this in mind while overclocking, If your doing it just to squeeze out one or two more FPS seriously dont bother.
