    if im overclocking is all i have got to worry about is the temperature the graphics card can get to or is it more such as strain on the card?

    If your temperatures stay within acceptable limits, and your video doesn't crash randomly, or other unwanted things don't happen, such as sudden freezes, you are doing fine. There's a good sticky here somewhere, on OCing.

    GPUs are quite resistant, and I have tried OC on x700 and found only minor temp increase. Nothing to worry about. Well sesshomaru said the rest...
