If you can pass 3dmark03 while it's overclocked, it's stable for the most part. Put it to the test, by playing some high-demanding games, like far-cry or doom3. Look for artifacts, or freezes.

Invest in better cooling if you are worried.

what about medal of honor this should be running on high setting's right?

I don't know how graphically demanding medal of honor is, so I don't know how well a 5900XT should run it. I do know, however, that a 5900XT isn't the most advanced graphics card either.

I wouldn't worry, upgrade to a better graphics card with more pipelines.
