ignore first post as its fixed now i had to download the softpedia version as the 3dguru 1 didnt have a signed update certificate thats what was stop it from working
i have fun 3dmark06 and played 45mins on cod4 max settings 4xAA and my max temp is 75
if i overclock this card what am i looking at will temps increase? is it worth overclocking it?

8800 GT
Definitiely clock it, GT does about 10-20% on the core
Very good clocking card

Very good clocking cardAs above, definately worth clocking. If your running at 75c under load with 100% fan action, then its starting to get a bit toasty.
It may be different for the GT but my GTX sits at around 62c with stock GPU air cooling (but reasonable case cooling), overclocked under load.

see im nervous about overclocking it as if it goes wrong i cant afford to replace the card but at the same time i want as much as i can get out of it
the case i have is the NZXT lexa blackline blue neon it has 4 case fans and is pretty cool
i have a
120mm fan on side window (intake?) pretty much level with GFX card
120mm fan on front of case (Intake?)
120mm fan bottom of case (intake?)
120mm fan rear of case (exhaust?)
the card idle temp
rivatuner 49
GPU-Z 41
load temps (3Dmark06)
rivatuner 75
GPU-Z 60
fan speed is on 30%
so is it ok to overclock? and what to?

Put it this way, I haven't seen a single one of these not manage a 10% overclock on the core. Put it up to 660, run 3d mark.
If your worried about temps, create a 100% fan profile in rivatuner and open hardware monitor. Run 3DMark06 (with the 100% profile active) and then check on the Hardware Monitor what your max GPU temp was during the benchmark. Make sure you've set the harware Monitor to record.
As said above, I'd be amazed if you can't easily overclock it by 10% without temps becoming an issue. They may look high if the fan isn't moving off 30% but I'd be more inclined to believe the GPU-Z 60c temp rather than the 75c showing in Rivatuner (it just sounds more realistic).
