Alright, I'm all set to OC my GPU now; after 3 hrs of reading and playing around with Rivatuner. I've adjusted my fans to certain GPU temps, and now I'm ready to OC!!!
But before I OC, just 1 more quick question. What temperature should I not exceed?
*** UPDATE ***
I'm running 750/1000 off Rivatuner, Love the Fan speed ajustments you can set on Rivatuner!!!
My old 3DMark06 score was 12,654 -------- New Score is 13,154 ----------> 500 pt. increase
That was nice, so I decided to run my Crysis Benchmark (Old Score was 44.41 fps) =)

Temperature hit a high of 66C during 3DMark06 and Crysis Benchmarks.
Any feedback would be great (especially on the GPU temperature).
