YES.

In truth, though, I am the winner.

I claim FLAWLESS VICTORY.

FATALITY

This "Howto" is for Windows XP. Vista may or may not need administrative privileges, I have not tried. As a standard liability abrogation, remember that IF you should happen to run this program, and IF it should happen to damage your video card (read: set on fire) or in any other way damage you, property, or some other third party, I, OCN, txtmstrjoe, and the Socket 939 Appreciation Club and Knowledgebase are all absolved of any liabilities, criminal or tortuous, as the result of YOUR voluntary actions. That said:

0) Download Real-Time High Dynamic Range Image-Based Lighting ["rthdribl"]
1) Close anything that taxes your video card (NOTE: you need not kill the systray nor disable CnQ since this is stress testing, not benchmarking; unless you want to I suppose)
2) Extract rthdribl_1_2.zip to a folder of your chosing
3) Open whatever program you wish to use to monitor GPU temperatures and load
4) Execute rthdribl.exe
5) Go to options, ensure that Fresnel Effect, Fill, and Detail Maps are all enabled
6) Under "Multisample," select as high of AA as you think your PC can handle; higher is better
7) Take note of what GPU load you have, if not between 99 and 100%, make the window larger
8) Note: the window ratio is irrelevant, as long as the size is sufficient; go too large, and you will get a "ran out of video memory" error
9) Find the size (and shape?) that works for you, and walk off for an hour or longer
10) After an hour, view the picture carefully for artifacts and/or errors; take note of your GPU temperatures
11) If you are pulling in a good FPS with clear pictures and low temperatures, then congratulations, your GPU OC is stable!

Pioneer should be home shortly, hour max, he got called into work because the guy who was supposed to work today has a stomach infection.
As for the tacos they sadly have to wait till after pioneer cashes his paycheck
