it came with a pretty good heatsink and runs real cool so I am wondering how much can I overclock the multipliers using nvidia control panel without it affecting or harming anything? I have a gateway oem motherboard so I cant up the voltages or overclock using bios. I already have the multipliers set at 14.5x (215) compared to the default which is 1x (201) and it still runs cool. Is there anything to worry about beside the core temp as speed fan shows it like hurting the voltages or motherboard or anything?

Im running like 27 C idle and can even use speed fan to make the fans go faster.

If I calculated it right, you've got the chip up to about 3117mhz. The idle temp is nice, but what's critical is the loaded temp. Real Prime95 for a while and then check the temp. As long as the loaded temp is under 55c, I wouldn't worry too much. If it goes higher, then look for a better heatsink. Such is my opinion.
