Hey guys. I'm a newbie overclocker with some questions about how it works in a graphics card respect.

I've managed to OC my BFG 7950 GX2 to 577/736. Idle temps are anywhere between 62-67C and the highest I've seen it while gaming was roughly 80C.

As a newbie overclocker, these seem like pretty good temps to me and it feels like I should keep going... but it is a very expensive piece of hardware and I am new to this. So as long as my temps are within a reasonable range, am I okay? Or are there other factors I need to put into consideration here?

Thanks.
 
theres not too much risk, but theres still some [think of all the 7xxx horror stories ;)], but remember heat is not the only thing limiting u from OC.. main thing is voltage n heat
