Hello i am in the process of overclocking my pci-express 6600gt. So far i have take it from 450mhz Core & 501mhz memory, to 520mhz core & 641mhz memory. So far there are no problems with it and plan on trying to push it further. However the temps are starting to case me some concern. The stock temp was about 60c under load, now under load it is running at around 75c. Just how hot can you get these things? The card came with heatsinks as coolers rather than a fan. Cant really be bothered replacing any of the stock cooling, as i plan to upgrade the card in the next couple of months anyway. So just how hot can it go with out doing my machine in?

Thanks in advance James
