my temperatures have increased quite abit, cpu underload reaches 37c and graphic card reaches 80c, is the overclock too high for the card or is the temperature fine

Temperature is a bit high but will still work fine, supposed to be ok upto about 100 but I dont want to find out really heh.

Your cpu is very good, I'd suggest using the BIOS to overclock your cpu, it does depend what motherboard you have too, most are ok these days but some can be dodgy. Use Rivatuner to overlock your gfx card, might also want to use Rivatuner to increase fan speeds on the card to push through more air, will knock a few degree's off for sure.

You can get the latest Rivatuner here if you wish to take a look.
