Actually, coolbits is better. You can adjust it however you want.
There are two things you increase: memory and core timings. You first want to increase the core by 5-10MHz and test it for 10-20 mintues, or two passes of 3D mark and see if there are any artifacts. When you finally get them, pull it back 10-15MHz. Do the same with the memory. However, don't let the core temperature rise above 65 or 70 - Again, coolbits has the feature to see temperatures and monitor them.
It's all about patience. It took me 10 hours of testing to tweak mine. Coolbits is probably the best for nVidia. Otherwise the ones that come with the card are wimpy, mainly because overclocking can fry it.
also, no, the only affect it will have is it will generate more heat in the case, maybe raise it 3 or 4 degrees, maybe only 1 or 2.
