Are there any ill effects associated with overclocking a graphics card? I have my 9700 OCed to 328.75/306, it runs stuff quite alot quicker than stock, but, is there any downfall to overclocking (ie. less life expectancy, lower framerates under load, anything like that)?
Also, does overclocking a graphics card make it run alot hotter? I have a desk fan blowing directly into my case at all times, do I even need this? I'm still waiting on my Vantec Aeroflow to come in to cool my CPU properly, and this deskfan drops my CPU temp by about 10ºC
