I have overclocked my GeForce 4 Ti 4600 from 300 core to 315 and from 650memory to 675 and I have achieved <A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=329420" target="_new">3DMark03 Score of 1855!!!</A> But my question is I'm leaving for a week so I was thinking I would turn the speeds back to normal, but I also thought I should bottom out the speeds so it creates almost no heat at all, what are your guys thought?
Thanks!!

I do all the time, why have heat that you don't need? I overclock when I plan to use the extra performance. Otherwise, I underclock my card to reduce heat, since I don't need it to browse the net or post on this forum.

Water cooling is for the weak. Get liquid nitrogen.
