how can u tell when ur overclocked graphics card is reaching the limit? Does it start to smell or somthing. I cant use any temperature info becuase i dont have any thermal paste thingy thingamobober stuff on it. Will i start seeing like lockups and weird stuff on the screen?

(just for the info it is a geforce 4MX420 that im going to overclock)

There will be glitches or sparkles in the graphics. Or the thing may quit, freeze, or reboot.
