does increasing the agp voltage help overclocking?

the system in question is in my sig. i want to increase the agp voltage to 1.6v in hopes of getting another 10 or so mhz out of my gpu? would this help?
 
are you volt modding?. increasing the voltage will make your higher clocks a lot more stable, but it causes a lot more heat and that will cause your card to age pretty quickly

No, he's talking about raising the AGP voltage in the BIOS. Not volt modding.

whoa. i never thought that was possible, but then im not familiar with abit mobos :rolleyes:

I think most boards support AGP voltage increases in the BIOS. My Gigabyte does.

I dont think it works the same way a voltage mod does though. Raising the AGP voltage in the BIOS will probably just damage the card.
 
From what I've heard it does't do anything but cook your video card.
 
Yup, when you bump the AGP coltage, you do not necesserely bump the voltage to the ram and the GPU on the card, since those are regulated by various capacitors on the card.

So by bumping up the AGP voltage, all your are doing is making all those capacitors generate extra heat, which is fine if you like to make marshmellows in your PC case, but other than that, it is somewhat useless.
