What do you guys think would be safe?
Or should I just leave it as it is?

urbanfox said:the general rule of video card oc'ing is to overclock till u see artifacts.
snow/checkerboarding=core
weird triangle flashes etc = memory
when u see little white dots or checkerboarding with white u need to back down ur core. when u see werid flashes or things like that u need to back down ur memory.
good advice is to oc mem first 5 mhz at a time till u see any artifacts and then back down 3 mhz and run some games/benchmarks to test for stability and then do the same for the core.
SilentDragz said:If you're gonna be overclocking I'd forget the stock cooling and spend just over a tenner on one of these.
EDIT: Just noticed it's out of stock on there, but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere on your website of choice.
EDIT EDIT: This cooler does take up an additional expansion slot under the graphics card (on tower cases, to the left on desktop).
