yes you could blow your card up but if you look at the speed differance between yr 9600se and the standard 9600 there is not alot of differance so you should be able 2 get to a 9600 easy but make sure your graphics card has sufficient cooling if you want buy a artic cooler and then you will be able to clock it further without being able 2 see artifacts and plus the artic cooler makes better use of the air flow in the pc casing
