Hiya. Nice choice. I bought one last week and a 800watt power supply to boot. I must admit I'm well impressed, are you? I can at last play Crisis and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in full res on a 32" plasma! I don't think you need worry too much about trying to overclock it as theres not much advantage yet. You might find when this stunning card gets older that some brain will Google a method or two! But for now, if I were you, I would just let it be and enjoy some serious good gaming!

Answer 4

You can overclock anything, but is is complicated and will definetly shorten the life of it

Answer 5

I'm not sure sure if you can overclock the 8600GTS, but in case you can then you might need to use a GPU cooler, 'cause the faster the GPU the hotter they get.

I use RivaTuner to overclock my 8800gts
