Help to a new overclocker

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi all. I am new to this forum so if this is in the wrong area i am sorry. Now down to my questions. I have 2 Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-x crossfired. I have used msi after burner to overclock them. (Im new to overclocking so feel free to point out mistakes or make recommendations thank you) i will try to upload a picture of my GPU overclock in msi. Sorry every time i try says error try again. Here are the specs:
Core Voltage: Stock as i am not sure what to change here as that is over my head
Core Clock: 900Mz stock was 860
Mem Clock: 1285 stock was 1200
Fan: Auto control i just changed and tweaked the curve to my likeing.

Now my question is how hot is to hot. Yes i know You have been asked buy 100 other overclocking noobs but i must ask again lol. When playing Crysis 2 with high res textures, DX11, Graphics on ultra ( high as this game goes) and a screen resolution of 1440x900 i am around 60 FPS and can drop as low as 45. Almost always above 50 tho. My GPU temp has hit and seemed to say around 75C after playing a while. Is this to hot or not a concern. Also no artifacts lines snow fog nothing to show me the card is doing more than it can handle. Thanks for any reply’s or words of wisdom

75 is a little warmer than my 5770 runs but it certainly not in the danger zone (non a top gun reference) as long as it is below 85C it should be fine.
