that depends on how stable your computer is, because if it is, then you're fine b/c I've seen plenty of people get theres around 320 for the gpu.

For me, when I play games, if the extra fps is not needed, i just let my card run at stock speeds on my 8500, but when I benchmark I turn it up again. Any overclock that heats up the gpu more than normal in the long run will make the card not last as long, but not by much in your case.

yeai have the choice of Turning Quincunx AA and x2A on to clear up jaggies but my fps goes down like 20 and on multi player on castle wolfenstein i get like 20 30 fps when thier are like 3 big explosions or something like that only way to get fps back is overclocking but im worried

i dont think clearing jaggies is worth my death of my card

Well i just added the heat sink i got from my boxed duron with AS adhesive and i had ramm sinks on the front for ever but was to lazy for the back well now i added those 2


With that stock hsf on the video card i used to have to moove my finger away when touching the back of the gpu now i can leav it on forever so its cooled down alot

So i think ill be safe on leaving it overclocked on 310/720 dnt u guys think ? i might be able to go higher 2


i can get 320/740 stable but it got to hot but now i think it wont be a problem
