8800GT Overclock too high?

[Warpy]

Is this clock speed likely to damage my card? I am using a S1 Aero from Arctic Cooling and idle temps are 43 and full load are 52. I am not getting any artifacting whatsoever, didn't know if I'm pushing it too much for 24/7 use.

Just because it passes ati tool artifact checker doesn't mean it's stable in games i know that from personal experience with my gt.
If all the games you play are running fine i don't see why not but i doubt you'd lose much if you pulled it back down a bit say 700/1800/950.
Always best to air on the side of caution especially if you gain a tiny fps increase by clocking to where you are at from say 700/1750/900 if i gained 3-5 fps from that clock to yours i know where i'd be leaving my card 24/7.

he he - thats my stock clock on my MSI GTS

I don't find the overclocks make a huge difference - I'd drop it down a bit

Mark.

All my games play with no problems, temps are fine too - I don't use ATI artifact checker as I find it to be not very accurate.

I would drop core to 700, any higher dont seem to make much odds. I still use stock cooler, and 24/7 solid it has been since i got the card on 8800GT launch.

.

My GTS passed ati tool for 9hrs and loads of loops of 3dmark , yet it gave artifacts in oblivion and cod 4 sometimes it froze. Had to drop it down from 750 -> 730 then it was stable

I have an xpertvision OC 8800gt with default clocks of 650/1900(950)/1625. After reading up on the net what overclocks people are getting and after bit of experimenting and benchmarking, i just decided to leave it as it is for now.
