Will overclocking my graphics card (7100GS) :'( void the warranty of just the graphics card or eveything in my PC?
I want to overclock it (Not like I have much to lose) But I don't want to void the warranty on my CPU.

well , i suggest u to not OC your GPU , because it will not give u really more performance !maybe 2-3 fps ... so now its up to you to decide if 2-3fps worth it .

Well for some games that could be a 10-20% increase so... yes I do. This card is very bad. Although I will not do it if it voids the warranty of my CPU, RAM etc. I will upgrade soon anyway so this is just for now.

WOW demo is like 10 to 15 fps. So a few more frames would really help.

Well if he's getting 10fps, 10-20% increase would be 1-2fps increase.

To OP: You can go ahead and OC your vidcard if you want. It does void your warranty, however, the manufacturer has no way of telling if you did or not as long as you revert the settings back to the original.
