Alright i'm very new to overclocking and i'm wondering at what temperature for the gpu should i start worrying about damaging the chip? Also does anyone know how accurate Lavalys everest's temperature reader is? Just asking because that what i'm using for temp readout, any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Ah that's good to hear that the cards can normally take a good deal of abuse, my card is an unlocked X800GTO2, current clock is 460 core 534 memory, when benchmarking with 3dmark i don't really see it go over 62-63oC i know that's not too bad probably but i'd just like to know when it's time to turn it back down, like around in the high 60's low-mid 70's? i'd just like to know. Oh and yes it's the stock cooler that came on the card, i'm thinking of bumping the fan speed a bit considering it's only at 55% by default.
