I tried to use Ati tools on my xtx (with Accelero), initial temp in idle is 61C. Now, when I reached 540 on core, temp rose to 72C and well, I had room for more OC. I'm really tempted to go forward with it, and see how far does it go. But I'm afraid of the temps. 71 is a bit hot IMHO

So...does anyone know what is max safest temp for that card? I better ask, before I fry it with going way too much :) And airflow in the case is not a problem - I have 2 120mm Scythe F fans, so they can manage with removal of hot air (though I'd prefer having a silencer with otes and not something that blows air directly into the case like Accelero does)

I think you are safe under 80C, but I have an X1800XT with stock cooling and idle I run around 60C with core overclocked max with ATI's driver to 690MHz core and 1600MHz memory.
I have not seen it exceed 75C under load.
