Overclocking my factory overclocked GPU help

Expand Post »

I have an HIS Radeon HD2600PRO ICE-Q Video Card with a factory overclocked memory clock and core clock (650 core / 1050 "effective" memory clock). While digging through the ATI Catylist control center, i found ati overdrive over clocking utility. When i went in there, it gave me a warning that over clocking the video card may mess up my pc. So here's the question:

Can I overclock the card without messing up my pc? I have one 120mm rear exhaust fan, and the video card has the ice-q cooler on it (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16814161098). I also have the stock cpu cooler on my e7200, and no other air flow. With this config, is it recommended to over clock the video card? Thanks for your suggestions.

My suggestion is before you even think about overclocking, you read up on it as much as you can. I'd start with a google search of Overclocking Guides, and also read this guide too:
