I found runnin 3d mark 06 is a good little stresser for testing with too, it also gauges the performance of the overclock - kill 2 birds with one stone and nVidia's nTune has a temperature graph somewhere in it (can't remember exactly where though) so just leave that running while stressing and look at the max temps and make sure it's keeping level and not still rising - you don't really wanna go much over 75 on full load. I know their "safety" value is at 105 or something... but running anywhere near that for a period of time is just going to burn your card out.
