im considering over clocking to raise my futuremark score, and to just improve over all gaming. how cool should my vid card and prosseor be running to be considered safe/stable?

Well.. what kind of cpu and gpu do you have in the system? Plus, are you using the stock cooling on the cpu or aftermarket with a different cooling compound?

Ok, I looked at the other post so I know the gpu and the cpu (and I'm going to assume stock cooing with the little putty pad until you say otherwise..). The AM2 socket runs cool as hell, I have a 2.4ghz single core in my familys' system as well as a dual core 2.0 ghz am2 in my server. For those chips I'd be surprised to see them go over 45c. The gpu on the otherhand.. I haven't run a 6800 ultra (right?), but I know my 7800gt runs good into the 70s and 80s, but that cards top end temp is 115c which is meltdown for it basically, anything into the 100s on it and it starts to artifact...

Ok, here's a page with a 6800 ultra review/bench that might give you an idea on temps.. http://www.nvnews.net/previews/gefor...a/page_9.shtml

Back to cpu... you don't really want to see anything beyond 55, but I'd say keep it under 50c and you're good to go, the next link should give you some good insight on what you'll be playing with in the bios (I didn't read through it but from what I saw, it covers the good stuff).
