kay... so, as some of you may know, just yesterday morning i completed my 1st overclock; a 2160 
. now, i wanna move onto the gfx...
i have a Gecube HD3870 X-Turbo III O.C. Edition, who runs happily at 810/1126... but i have a few questions.
(http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=3&id=2450)
1: will OCing kill the card quick quick??? i would guess no,
2. will the fps gains be substantial enough to warrant the increased damage to the card?
3. What kind of temps should i be looking to keep the card below?
4. Is it a good idea to ramp up the fan's speed?
5. Is there any point? considering the card is OCed already, should i just settle with what i have? (i know this is similar to 2, but meh)
i want to use CCC but may just go with ATITool again, considering how good they do their thing
