I have the Sapphire X800GTO. Right now I'm using the recommanded maximum frequencies supplied by the ati overclocking tool.
I was wondering if I can go beyond further? My card's already running pretty hot (around 45C idle and maybe 60C load).

id say no
Set it till atitool detects artifacts, then lower it a bit, i wouldnt go any higher, u might damage ur card.
I think 45C is too hot. youll kill your card if you go further
It's you money.

thats pretty hot, probly will decrease the life of your gfx card
According to the members at Extreme overclocking forums, those temps are pretty normal for my card. from what i remember reading, i believe that anything > 90C is considered danger zone..
lol 45C is pretty much the idle temp for a gfx card.Quote:
