I received my GTX460 OC 1gb yesterday and since everyone seems to push them higher I thought i would too. I'm really no expert with OC'ing so i wasn't sure what changes i should make.

I've download MSI Afterburner and upped my settings to 800/1600/2000 (i just copied someone else). My case is pretty good (Coolermaster 690 II Adv.) with pretty decent airflow so hopefully temperatures should be ok.

I haven't done any stress tests yet so i cant say if it's stable or not. What i'd like to know is what's a 'safe' maximum overclock on this card and whats a safe maximum temperature for it to run at under load.

Also, what are the symptoms of GPU instability? What should i look about for when running furmark or playing games?

Lastly, I see lots of people talking about custom fan profiles and was wondering if i should be using one or if its ok to leave the card and afterburner to do its own thing?

Many thanks.
