Overclocking video card
Im wondering what a safe temperature for my overclocked video card is. I own an ATI X850. Its default speeds are:
Core-540.00
Memory-589.50

I overclocked it to:
Core-555.00
Memory-599.00

When i run CS:S it heats up to about 60-65 and when in idle it stays about 30-35. So is 60-65 a safe temperature or is it too high?

That is a safe range for temperatures. I have seen high around 80degrees like my x1950pro that was insanely clocked for a day but then I thought back to stock as i didn't see a difference.
