Hey I've got an MSI 8800GT OC 660/1900 and want to overclock it even further to get some more performance out of it @ 1920x1200!

What are safe load temps? Right now I am idling at around 40-43C with the stock overclock.

My main concern is ocing the core clock...as it has the greatest affect on performance from reviews. I'm hoping to get 700-760mhz core...is that too high? What should I set my limits at?

I plan on using riva tuner and then testing for artifacts with ATI

You should be able to go well into the 80's and not have heat related issues.
