Ok, for some reason my 9500GT never goes beyond 50-60'
Is that a good heat for a GPU?
And also, I have many troubles overclocking, I can do like:
Memory: (Default 400) 550-600MHZ
Core Clock: (Default 800MHz) 900MHz
Shader: (Default 1350MHz) 1500-1600MHz
Are these good, I see that cards cant OC very well.
When I get above these clocks, the driver doent respond.

seems like a decent OC, whats the fanspeed at? you might be able to lower your temps a smitch more,

Well, fan speeds im not sure of, but in RivaTuner its set to 25% out of 100% but mind me the GPU @ 100% is the loudest thing in the case @ 100% you can hear it 10m away >_<

i think that card is good up to 80C.

I will add : When the cards OC'ed, theres not much improvements
Is this cos my CPU is havin trouble keepin up? Should I OC my cpu to 3ghz or somethin?

When it comes to heat, you're fine. Try the fan speed from 80% and lower is 5% every three seconds. Doing this will help you find a 'sweet spot'. A 'sweet spot' is a certain fan speed that gives you the best noise to cooling ratio. For my 9600GT, my sweet spot is 75%.

Yea, you can overclock your CPU without a problem, and should give you a nice boost in Windows and in games.
