Help Me! GTX 660 OC: MSI or GIGABYTE?

[PK4L1F3]

Asus and MSI and GB are roughly the same, the 7870 is pretty overclockable.

ehh im not a big fan of overclocking my graphics cards. besides if i do it incorrectly i might shorten the life of my graphics card.

You should be able to get a 5-10% OC without shortening the life of the card at all. It's all about temps, not clock speed.

so what is the average temperature for a card?

at full load anywhere from 45-75C. Anything under 80C is good.
