Raising GPU Vcore

Hi all,
Yesterday i ordered a new GPU cooler (Zalman VF700 CU)for my Geforce 6800 GT because the stock cooler wasn't doing sh*t... I had a -20c when idle, and a -30c @ load difference with the new upgrade.. so the next thing to do was to overclock the card:) Right now the card is stable @ 425/1200 but since my temps are still very acceptable, i'd like to go some further.. But the only way to let it run faster is by raising the Vcore.. I know i can do it by flashing to the Ultra's bios but i don't want to flash the card.. So, is their a kind of sotfware that just lets you manually adjust the Vcore? Any help would be appreciated..

Ok i flashed it to 1.4v now i still can't get past 425MHz without suffering from crashes and artifacts, Why is this??

Raising the Vcore is not a guarantee of higher clock speeds. Perhaps this is the fastest that your card can handle, in which case id lower the vcore to normal and carry on at 425. Raising voltage compensates for increased temperature and hence increased electrical resistance in the CPU core, but even if you cool it to -50 degrees and raise the voltage there is always a limit and you may have reached it.

Summary: I can't seem to raise my vcore high enough to get my FSB to 200. I have a A7N8X mobo and the only FSB increments are 100/133/166/200. Temp is not a problem but I was wondering if their is anything e...
Summary: How are you lowering the temp, watercooling or something of the sort? You probably won't be able to lower the vcore any anyways, but if you lower the temp, you could probably raise the vcore a little...
