I think MSI itself providing a tool call MSI AfterBurner or something. You will use that tool for safe overclocking. Or else use the Riva Tuner or ATI Overdrive.

Don't take a giant leap while increasing the frequencies. Go step by step and proceed with patience. I think riva tuner is best tool. Also has a temperature monitor graph to note the temps recorded at load and idle.

I do have MSI's Afterburner tool installed...once i tried to overclock a bit but then my games became unstable and started getting pixelated....can u pls tell me as in how i can check whether the changes are stable?

^^

What is your default settings and how much did you increase using Afterburner. Try to increase step by step, say by 2MHz and find in which frequency the system is unstable. So the previous clock is your stable OCing freq.

@abhidev: u can also overclock using the ATI Catalyst Control Center.....which wud be safe.....4 u......

do some R&D on overclocking & then overclock....wrong overclocking will make ur machine go kaput......

moreover also consider the RAM & Proccy also....while overclocking...older proccy
will be a bottleneck for HD5770
