    Long time i havent visited this forum but anyway i have a question.

    I have recently played ALOT of CSS (scrims and such) and have decided to make a movie of my amazing frags :)

    1 thing though. I have used these clocks rarely (705/750) but i think that i really need to use them for my movie making.

    It is because FRAPS is a very demanding program, i just need those extra framerates to make my movie smooth.

    Do you think it is safe? i only need to shoot a couple of clips.

    make sure to do some testing and stuff. Slowly increment your clocks until it gets either too hot or artifacts start appearing, then lower your clock speeds a bit from there.

    As long as you test it properly you should be ok. follow the overclocking guide in the general sticky for some good advice on selecting safe clock speeds
