dont worry more as you want to worry about max load.

Max load i would guess under 60

7600GTs are pretty overclockable. I got my bro's to 630/1700. I used ATI Tool to overclock. And I agree with Sora. As long as it's under 60C, you're good. But I think they can handle more. Like up to 70C.

I was just taking a guess as my 7900GS runs around 56.

The 7 series can hit well in the 70's and be fine while the 8 series can hit in the 80's

also yes the 7600GT's overclock pretty well

keep increasing the core until you see artifacts in the scan for artifacts.

Don't worry about it. After you find the max core, do the same thing for the memory.
