in general you shouldn't touch it (you guys can fill in why, as i don't really know why aside from "it hinders Overclocks' stability")

imma guess it says 100 MHz?

yeah it does. and if changing it messes overclocking then i'll leave it lol.

Another question i have is my system uses 550 watts max load but what 12v amperage would it use as i have 16a on each of the 2 12v's that i have?

Lock it in at 100Mhz while you're overclocking.

i have overclocked my 9800gt's from Core Clock 600 to 650, Shader Clock 1500 to 1550 and Memory Clock 900 to 1000! Would you say this is a reasonable overclock although i have not noticed that much difference, only like 4 fps in game difference.
