Software to monitor temp and OCing on FX5500

Hi all,

Recently purchased an XFX GeForce FX5500. (Before you all flame the 5500, I
was on a tight budget at the time.) Does anyone know of any software that
can monitor temperature of the GPU? Also, can I safely OC the card with the
stock cooling? I ran the "Detect Optimal settings" in the Gfx Card's
submenu, and it came up with 290MHz Core and 443MHz RAM. Would the card run
OK like this without extra cooling? My case temp averages 30C idling and my
CPU 29C idling.

Any suggestions greatly aprecciated, as well as any personal experience.

Neil
