    9500 Pro overclocking question

    Despite having my Arctic Cooler on my 9500 Pro, I'm experiencing a lot of instability in LOMAC, it would appear that LOMAC is pushing my card so hard its causing re-boots and lockups.

    Would increasing my AGP voltage help ? currently at 1.55, my board will give me the option to go to 1.6 and 1.65.

    AFAIK VAGP gives more voltage to the AGP bus and not the card - the card draws power directly from the PSU. Unless you're clocking the AGP bus then I don't think there are much benefits in upping this.
