okay... having some problems with rage3d tweaker, so i opted for radlinker (which works quite well)

trying to figure out what i need to do to o/c my 9700np. i change the settings in the Clock Rate tabe and hit Set, but they don't seem to change. radlinker's site (lack of site) doens't offer much help

is there somethign else i need to do before i just ues this? i tried a search but couldn't come up with much in the way of "this is what you do and in what order"

thanks guys

Me thinks you need to flash your bios first. Go to Rage3D.com forums, and you'll find all you ever wanted to know about flashing with the warp11 bios. Then you should be able to overclock.

Which 9700np do you have?
I believe the bios is locked on all of them except the Sapphire one.
If you have a non-sapphire card you'll need a bios flash.

I've got the FIC from newegg. I'll look into flashing. Is there any danger with it? I've never had problems flashing mobos or anything else in the past, but since this isn't exactly official, there's probably no chance for RMA if I fark it up. What's the failure rate on this? I'll check out the rage3d.com forums. Thanks
