Daz,

Beware mate, I've found if you O/Clock an FX card, the cooling fan has a habit of turning itself off! - Mine did!

I'd strongly advise you remove the Nvidia GPU cooler and replace it with one powered from your pc's PSU directly (which I have) then o'clock at will!

or get a liquid cooling system with a CPU and GPU block, that would be perfect, of course they take more work to take care of than air

DON"T DO IT!!!!

Don't trust that 'auto detect' button. if you want to fry your card go ahead. I suggest raising the clock speeds by 5 or 10 at a time.. run 3dmark03 and see if it runs ok.. raise a little again.. run 3dmark... and keep doing that until you start to get worse performance or see glitches on the screen. Then back it down a little and leave it their.
