Overclocking my radeon 64vivo retail from 183 to 200. This safe??

[aircooled]

Been going for a couple of days with no problems, but I dont have any kind of tempurature monitor on it.

All is stable and runs fine, but I just wanted some feedback from others.

What the average o/c for these cards? Is there a big difference from 183 to 200??

Thanks

this week someone oc-ed an LE to 205 and suddenly their video card gave up when they weren't overclocking later. probably you will be OK but I always prefer overclocking a cheaper card.
