Default Overclocking

I have a Radeon 9800 Pro (HIS Excalibur) and I want to overclock it. What do I need to do so and do I need a VGA Silencer or something other than the stock cooling fan? I was actually gonna order a VGA Silencer because they're quiet and they look really cool.

I'm sure it will cool it fine, but I was able to get a very nice overclock on the stock fan. I have it watercooled now. I got it to 430/365 on stock fan, of course I had ramsinks on the ram.

There is difference between the two, but remember they are by different companies. It's not much I'm sure. I've dealt with Sapphire in the past and I like them, so that's who I'd recommend.

Is it bad to open the side of my computer while it's running? Cause right now the side panel is off and I'm staring at the beautiful components
