ATI OverDrive safe?
I tried using OverDrive on my X1900XT card but I saw the temperature reading in the CCC hitting 93 C and it kept going up so I got scared and just hit "Stop" to cancel it...the card cannot handle temps that high can it?...according to the OverDrive temp readout my idle temp is around 43 C and during load around 55 C...

Just let Overdrive do it's work. It's alright.

93? That's high even for an X1900XT

Agreed. If you can't hold your finger against the heatsink without it being too hot to be comfortable, that's too warm for an IC to be running safely. (That's about 70C/160F, depending on your heat tolerances and calluses.)
