You can overclock anything you want :)

How far can you OC? All depends on current temp idle and under load. How your case vents hot air etc etc MANY things so no one will be able to give you a straight answer. The main things that get OC'ed are CPU, memory and Gfx card. There are rumours of people OC'ing fans and PSU's too but i don't recommend anything like that lol

Thanks for the links and maybe you can also help me with this but after i installed my new hard drives and reinstalled windows my EVGA precision tool wont core/shader/mem clock properly it never fluctuates like before now it just never moves the only thing that fluctuates is the GPU temperature display.

Hmm it cant see how it would be running that high. You OC'ed it yet? Google i think its called Gpuz (Like CPUZ but for gfx) that should give a more accurate resullt and where you running any other apps with it?

Yeah it already comes oc'd what I'm wondering is why isn't the readings on the graph fluctuating like before.

Why would it fluctuate, except for the temperature, that will change based on the load, but the clocks are set and not dynamic. Here's a shot of mine, I've had it on for a bit, going to put FAH on when I go to bed in a few.
