8800GTX Core - 610 mhz Memory Clock - 998 - how much furhter can i go.

[NXPS]

Hi all,
I am very new the overclocking scene, and thought the best place to start would be with my GPU. My first attempt has been quite successful, i have used Evga Precision to overclock to the figures above. I have seen a good increase in Crysis FPS which now runs in 1900 x 1200 all set to high no aa and average of 30-32 fps (Relic Level) before i would get 22-25 fps. All set to high settings i am now getting 18-20 fps. Tempreature after 30 minutes play has the card at 70oc.

Just wanted to know how far i can push it before hitting the limit (tempreature wise)

well up little by little until your whole computer freezes and need restart. then you know the limit.

i had my gtx @ 633 core linked with shader and memory @ 1022, i couldnt go any further than that....... my temps was about 80c but i dont think that was too high, i had it OC'd with those settings for many months.....

I run two 8800 gtx's so i know that decreases my overclocking ability (to the highest the lowest card will go), but i can run stable at 612mhz core, 1002mhz mem.......anything higher, i start locking in specific games......some are fine, but not all....so that is my cap.
