Need help overclocking graphics card.
Well my dad knows this guy who works for Nvidia or something, and my dad said I wanted a new graphics cad for Christmas, the guy told him to get a Nvidia GeForce GTX 280 as it was the best. I didn''t want an ATI card because they suck balls. lol
Well I like to have the best and I heard that overclocking is the way to go, but my dad said that these new graphics cards don't let you overclock without disabling the overclocking protection chip. He told me that the easiest way to do it was to cut off the part of the connector that controls the chip and then you can overclock it to the max. He said that he was 99% sure it was the small connector on the left of the card that you needed to cut off, so i got my exacto knife and very carefully cut off the piece. He phoned his friend (the one who works at Nvidia) and he told him to activate the overclocking feature in the BIOS. So I plugged in the card and turned the PC on, but nothing came on the screen and the card made a really loud beeping noise. Dad says you just need to reset the card so it works again, does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you.
