How to overclock my 8800gts

Download Rivatuner and ATI Tool. Use Rivatuner to up the clocks, and ATI tool's artifact scanner to test them to see if its stable.

how accurate does ATI Tool test? My buddy used it solely to overclock his card and his actually burnt out. Should you run it for a longer period of time maybe? I'm curious about this too, because I wouldn't want to fry it.
 
I'm not sure what you mean.

ATI Tool will test the stability of an OC using its Fuzzy Cube. You still need to keep an eye on the temps.

I guess what I'm asking is how long do you have to run the Fuzzy Cube and how accurate is it? Because, I'm assuming 2 hours of gaming is different from running the Fuzzy Cube for 30 min. Or does it know how long to stay on?
 
i use nvidia ntune to overclock and monitor temps and it has a feature to test the stability of the overclock, i didn't know the ati tool worked on nvidia cards but i got an 8800 gtx and haven't bothered overclocking it

If you are artifact free for over an hour, and your temps are still low enough then you are good to go :)
