I have i7 920 and ATI 5770, could my PC handle it if I would overclock my CPU to 3.8GHZ and GPU to 900mhz/1330mhz?

My PSU is: Corsair 550W

My RAM is corsair XMS3 1x3gb

Just look at the temperatures and use Prime 95 to test for CPU stability. Enable Error checking in the menu. If your cpu survives a 1-2 hour test without errors and if the load temperature isn't too high then it's fine.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

Yes, but not on the stock heatsink for your cpu.
Make sure you have good cooling in your case too.

you need to error check for much longer. i would say at least 5 hours.

80C sounds high. i think the tjmax for intel processors is usually 100C but i would definitely try to keep it lower than 80C but i'm not sure it will actually cause problems.

P.S. just leave it on while you sleep so you dont have to wait for it :D

the processor will stop itself if it reaches a certain temperature !

yeah it'll stop itself at around 105C

make sure you run Prime95 for at least 6-8 hours imo. 80C is fine, but a bit on the high side imo. What are your volts?

Your processors will probably have errors before then anyways, and prime95 stops running on those cpu's when they have errors

I suggest turning off Turbo Mode because it could cause stability issues later on in tasks that are not multithreaded.

Your voltage looks fine. Not sure why your temps are high.

Yeah, maybe it because I have turned my fans to silent-mode on my bios settings...
I hate noises >.<

ionno what his cooler is but turbo mode should be off for an oc.

About ocing your 5770 i suggest using msi afterburner in conjunction with kombuster run kombuster and find the max of your memory first then bring up your core till stable s memory is the main issue with the 5770.

That's or evga precision will do.

most times you can push that memory to about 1400 usually a bit less then that. but i like kombuster it's good to see hz on the core and memory becuase it goes down to the 10th place.

Really you have a noctua and getting those temps esp that cooler i suggest you may want to take a look at if you're cooler is properly set and if you have to much thermal paste.
