    K guys i noticed something...that my Overclock temps are like 3C lower than my stock..

    Is this a good thing?

    Will my OC last a bit longer? or will the card just die faster anyway.?

    I undervolted by .250V and got a notebook cooler...this got my GPU atleast 7~9C cooler than before.

    I used to game at like 77C in Counter Strike source.

    Now the max i pull off is 69C under OCd speeds.

    Well X2P u probably pushed the MEMORY too far as there are no temp monitoring for that...maybe thats why.

    Your core was probably fine but your memory...eh..thats another story.

    If i can take good care of overclocking speeds will my notebook last a while?
