Recently, overclocking, and not extreme, it is quite common not only among experts but also among end users less ". Speaking from extreme overclocker can confirm the difficulties encountered during the test a little 'more motivated, especially regarding the section on video cards.

Who is in the business for some years will remember the famous ATI Tool that was one of the few software that offered the possibility of manipulating the voltages marked ATI video cards. For NVIDIA video cards but it was not possible to dip into if not voltages of voltage changes known as hardware / hard mod.

This procedure changes as well as being relatively risky even for experienced overclockers also requires the right equipment and expertise to a certain level. Obviously the producers of the video cards do not provide the datasheets and schematics of the PCB and this certainly does not help the lives of overclockers.

Each model of high-end video card that was introduced on the market was certainly felt by many overclockers with ' intention to significantly raise the operating frequencies in order to get high rankings in the various Hall of Fame or various charts on the various 3DMark.

To do this obviously you need to replace the sink with a series Tolotti copper or similar systems capable of cooling the card with dry ice or nitrogen liquid. To reach very high frequencies is not enough to cool the heavy components but must make changes to voltages as we mentioned earlier. To work hard to mod with the latest versions of RivaTuner, thanks to a plugin, it was possible to change the voltage on all cards that take the voltage regulators Volterra.
