not good enough at electronics to figure this out...

my friends is giving me his old 9800gt. its a one gig model but it is powered completely by pcie bus. no 6 pin connector.i read that my pcie 2.0 bus can handle up to 150 watts and the card operates at 75 since its designed pcie x16. my question is can i overclock it and not worry about frying it using only power from pcie bus? im not gonna overclock it more than 20% on mem and 20% on core.
