Can't answer the question directly, but if you google around you'll find discussions about overclocking this card. There's always a chance you will fry it, but seems people start seeing artifacts when it's getting too hot.
You might want to install SpeedFan (free here). It should report temps of both your hard drive and video card, which may help you keep an eye on things. Keep in mind that SpeedFan cannot control fan speeds on Dell desktop PCs. There's a plug-in for Dell laptops, but you can't use that plug-in for desktops.
And if you have an empty PCI slot, you might consider installing a PCI card fan. Put it in the slot directly next to the video card. Some of these cards get power from the motherboard slot, while others connect to the power supply.
