So I am trying to OC my 8600gt using AtiTool. The temps are pretty good(bout 66c load) but when I am scanning for artifacts, how long should I wait before considering it a safe or stable OC?

Thanks.

as a temporary do it for 5 min and for a permanent do it for an hour+

For me Ill do a 15-20 min artifact scan, the ill run 3dmark06. If 3dmark runs through with out artifacts then youre good to go.

I've heard people do overnight runs,

I've only done it for an hr max

But I can't OC my card very well.

I recommend an hour or so. I hardly ever make it that long, though, lol. I usually do 2-3 minute test when starting out. The, after I get artifacts, I drop 10 mhz or so and try again. Repeat until stable for an hour. Reboot and run 3dmark.
