Alright, to start things off, im new to overclocking my video card. I am an unsatisfied geforce fx5600 card owner and want to draw more power out of my card. i have unlocked the cool bits part of my drivers which are standard nvidia 56.72. however, with this soft oc i achieve absolutly no increase, when i bump my frequencies and test my new settings, the test fials and im left with my same old 325/400 clock speeds. I have a couple of thermometer points on my case so i hooked one up to the gpu(85+-5 degreesF) and ram(80+-5 degreesF) on my vid card. I was wondering if these temps are to high? and also will i gain performance with omega drivers?

my fx 5700 runs at 95F or 35 C +- 2C.... at 460/500 (default is 425/500)

... fx 5700 also flinkers in windows... and often reboot me... this blows.
