Hi, Welcome to OCN!... the overclocking capital of the internet

all cards are different... you can run ati tool to test for artifacts... its just a case of trial and error to find your max stable OC

What are your temps like ???

right now my card is at 69C and I'm also using rivatuner

when I play R6V2 my card goes up to 81-83c running at 1280x1024 max settings quality level 3

I would not let it get any hotter than that really, have you got fan speed at 100%?

NewbiClocker · 01-17-09

yes,so no more then 81-83c when playing should be my limit for temps?.I also have my case open to let in more air since it's been cold outside lately and I have my window open

I'd say that's is the safe limit, any more and you might damage the components. Have you got a spare desk fan lying around? Because you could get a bit of a ghetto cooling setup going on.

No Id be nice though,To bad I can't ghetto rig some liquid cooling

You could. You can put a whole computer in baby oil apart from the hard drive and the optical drive. It works too
