extra overclock bfg 9800 gtx oc

[widnesjohn]

is this safe i only bumped it up a bit
760mhz/1985mhz/1125mhz

to
800/1985/1152

any tips would be good and all seem stable with temps and did few test with futuremark

Play the games you normally do. Keep an eye Ofor any artifacts or slowdowns. and keep an eye on the temps.
If you notice any problems drop it down a bit. But most cards are very resilient these days to overclocks when it comes to permanent damage unless you go crazy and do a big jump with out working in steps.

Use ATI tools artifact scanner http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/436/ATITool_0.26.html

Don't install the drivers when it asks though and yes it does work with nvidia cards
