GPU Overclocking Question

[MegaBeans]

I just recently bought a used Asus GTX 760 DCUII OC from a friend for $180, which he bought new last November. The card doesn't overclock very well. (a measly +100 on the core (1106 mhz), and +400 (1752 mhz) on the memory) from stock. This slight overclock only gives me about 5-7 more FPS in games, but the upside is that the card barely goes over 65c when gaming. 

 

And so, I wondered. Is it still worth overclocking this card for the extra 5-7 FPS? I want the card to last as long as possible, as upgrading is currently not an option.

 

What do you guys think?

You can leave it on a overclock, 65c is just normal when you gaming. But don't get it above 80c How fast are the fans spinning when you game?

Fans are around 50%, or around 2500 RPM. Really quiet, too!

you can try to overclock it even more. Try another 50 mhz on the core and a 100 mhz on the memory. Get the core speed around 1200 mhz and the memory around 1800 mhz

An extra 5 to 7 fps is pretty good, and in cases where you are dropping under 40 fps, those extra 5 to 7 will make a big difference.  +100mhz won't make much difference in GPU longevity, and since temps are good, I say go for it!
