geforce fx 5500 oc overclock

[DooMMooD]

i currently have a geforce fx 5500 oc with a gpu clock of 290 Mhz and memory clock of 350 Mhz. what should i overclock to to get better performance out of it without causing heat issues?

there really isnt a set number that you can go to. its different from card to card. you could try ti, and play some games and if it starts artifacting.. then move it down a little. i dont know how into OC'ing you are, but remember, you goota find the sweet spot on some cards. on my 5700NU that i had, i could get the core really really high, but it would start to slow down.. the sweet spot was about 25 mhz slower than my max OC.
