    Sorry to pop your bubble, but you won't be able to overvolt a Parhelia via pins or otherwise. Oh it can be done, but the chances you smoke it are exceedingly high.

      Does he mean changing the voltage for the agp slot? Why would you change the voltage on the card itself? That would just fry it outright, I'd think....

      Then again, it's 2:24am here and not much makes sense

        You can mod the board to supply a higher core voltage to the Parhelia core. But it doesn't usually matter much, they don't go much faster - and they DO die.

          Well, what's-his-face got it up to 270+MHz with his volt mod. (maybe you should search for that, either here or google) He knocked off some part and killed it while he was screwing around with his board later on though, IIRC.

            Even at 220 I wouldn't expect it to last a couple three months. An ordinary OEM Parhelia has enough issues as it is without pushing it toward an early demise.

              Yeah you can crank up the voltage with the hard mod on the board, but then you need to heatsink the regulators and try to cool down the already hot graphics chip.

                    you won't see as much benefit from overclocking it as you are probably hoping. too many other issues.
