Lowering i/o voltage!!! will i be able to overclock my geforce more?

[OneOfTheseDays]

i read somewhere that lowering the io voltage on the asus k7m motherboards from 3.5 to 3.3v will actually increase stability and allow for higher overclocking. Can anybody verify this????

Doesn't sound completely off if you run the card with one of those tiny OEM heatsinks, since the chips get rather hot. At least the Geforce 1 chips generally have heat (not voltage) problems when overclocking. As an example, I was able to raise the core speed from 140 to 160 on my Geforce DDR when I slapped on a Globalwin FKP32 heatsink.

Addition: In case you wonder why I only run it at 152 now, the reason is I removed the fan from the FKP32 (because of noise). Now it's stable to 160, with help of good chassi air flow, but has a tendency for "artifacting" above 156. So 152 is OK with me. The memories are crappy on my board...

No it will not help you i think but increase i/o voltage and coling will help
I have 3,6 i/o voltage on my CL Geforce1 DDR and it is almost stable at core@150 and mem@345 Before I bumped the voltage at was soooooo unstable!!!
Well thats my experiense.

I couldn't overclock my leadtek geforce2 mx for SH^T until I upped the I/O voltage to the A7V default of 3.56
I previously had jumpered it down to 3.3v

I'm going to do some system memory tweaking now to see if it helped there also...
