AGP voltage and overclocking

I've searched around, and it seems like nobody mentioned this, but when you OC your video cards, do most people raise the AGP voltage? Because I installed an aftermarket cooler on my card, and so it gives me more room to play around with OC settings, and I found that raising the voltage from 1.5 (stock) to 1.65 lets me OC higher before I get artifacts (like 445 vs 460). Does anyone else do this, or is there a risk of damaging your card if you raise the voltage?
 
It really shouldn't help your OC unless you AGP freqency is out of spec. Also supposidly it is dangerous to run the AGP voltage at highier than defualt though I have NEVER actually heard of a card dying.
 
1.6v definitely won't hurt anything, and i typically put it there for stability reasons.

Even if i don't overclock a system, and it has 2 sticks of ram, i bump Vdimm to 2.6 or 2.7..

Just one of those things I guess..


OP: It's nice that you are seeing some rewarding gains from doing so..

460 is nice.. what's the card?
