Next thing to overclock is my video card.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that this is an overclocker's motherboard. But hey, as long as the load temps don't exceed 70-75°C (according to
Real Temp) while running the Small FFTs stress test using
Orthos, then it should stay nice and stable. That is, provided the overclock is stable. And at the minimum, it's important to get the overclock stable enough to pass a 12-hour Small FFTs stress test. Be aware that the default test when you open Orthos is the Blend test, so be sure to change the selection before beginning the test.
Anyway, I can see that you already got an 800 MHz overclock out of this. Now run at least a 10-15 minute Small FFTs stress test to determine maximum temps. If they don't exceed like 70-75°C, then you know it's cool enough to set the goal of making the overclock stable enough to pass a 12-hour Small FFTs stress test.
If this isn't done, then you can and likely will be frustrated by problems due to instability.
By the way, I am curious: what did you set the CPUs core voltage to?
anyway I can go higher?
