I've just recently bought a Geforce DDR-DVI... u know.. the Gillmont kind, teh 3dprophet one. anyway.. I know that regular Geforce can be oc a little bit, and so is their ram.. nothing as crazy as my old V3 2000 w/ 30mhz up, but like a little.. say 5 or 10 mhz, is it ok? I mean, I know that the Geforce core can handle it, but what about the DDR ram? Does anyone out there have a similar card and did oc it? Plz tell me.
how save is it to oc a DDR Geforce?

i have the exact same graphics card as you and i overclocked this baby to 155mhz core and 355 mhz ram clock
oh yea, forgot to mention that my card did that core speed with default cooling, but i just played it safe and attached an "old" Vantic blue looking heatsink and fan for a P1 and put it on my graphics card. It runs awesome now. If you want, i will explain how i did it.
after talking about my graphics card core speed and stuff, i guess i got a little speed hungry, so i overclocked my graphics core to 160 and memory to 360. It is running really well now.
hehe read the sig 
im sure i could take the memory higher , but at 340 i get speckling in the single texturing fillrate text , but if i go to 32 bit color or 24 bit zbuffer it goes away , any suggestion ?

I just got the Blue Orb and it's now on the DDR, I finally do some overclocking, and rite now I'm doing 140 core, 323 Ram, is it healthy to go higher? I know how most people are doing 150+ core and 350+ Ram, but hey.. I dont' want to burn my card man!
Overclocking a video card is sort of like overclocking a cpu. If it runs at the speed with good cooling, it will be fine. As long as you keep your temps down.
ic.. hmm.. I think I'll try that.. thx people.
Should I put like mini heatsink on Ram? Or is it really like useless?

Ok, this is kinda weird, I'm running my Core at 150 now, and my ram at 341, I was doing 351 on the ram, but then when i did clocked it there my fps droped by half on demo, when I clocked it back to 341 it doesn't do it anymore.. plus, rite now, when I'm doing 800x600 timedemo, my cpu is really my bottle neck! WTF?! I'm running it at 918mhz rite now.. soon to go to 935 to see what happens, but at 800x600 I'm freakin almost to 100fps mark.. and yes, when u move the resolution up to 1024 you get a noticeable performance boost, I'm at like 77fps at that resolution.
Anyone know how to safely remove the stock heatsink from a CL anni pro? It's currently running at 150/353 with an 80mm fan glued to the back....I want to put a Blorb on the GPU, but when I removed the HS/F off my old TNT2Ultra, the thing got f'ed up and I had to RMA...any suggestions for safely removing the HS/F?
hmm.. I really donno, are your hs/f on the CL Pro ones that's hold down by the 2 pin type thing?
on the Gillmont DDR it is, that's why the blue orb is perfect fit, I just removed those old pin, which is the hardest part on it, and turns out they use regular silicone compound, not the dry up hard to take off ones, so I just take alchol pads and cleaned the chip, reapplied some radioshark paste, and put on the BlOrb.
The whole thing took about 20 minutes, and most of it was spend on takeing out the old Gillmont pins.
If your CL uses the same 2 pin design, then you should be ok, just make sure when you pry out the pins on your old heatsink, you dont' scratch up any of the stuff around it, or excurt too much pressure on the board itself. Or next thing you know you'll hear a funny crack and your board is gone.
The blue Orb is very very good, but very very expensive. the front of the chip is cool, but the back is hot. I'm thinking about attaching the old heatsink/fan on to the back, but the back is bumpy.

what also helps in overclocking your graphics card is moving up your i/o voltage. 3.3 is default and 3.5 did the trick for me. 3.5 got rid of some artifacts and such i was experiancing.
What are your scores is 3d mark 2000 now? I am getting around 6400.
