    The best way is to flash it using nibitor. You can also use nvidia system tools.

    nibitor will be the most stable way to do it. Though Nvidia System Tools will also work rather well.

    So nVidia System Tools is best software then? I don't want to go updating my BIOS without testing it first.

    It's really the quickest and easiest way, no downloading anything.
    Easy to play around with the settings. I would suggest you download G-PUZ so that you can see how much you raised them.

    just click on "find optimal" in the device settings (nvidia system tools).

    That will find the max OC.

    You have to have the power cord connected to see the "find optimal" button.

    Thanks. Last time I O/C'd a GPU was with my Vostro 1500. Been a while. Will mess around a bit.
