Hey that aint 'that' bad, thats actually pretty nice considering the overclock you have on it. But yeah you may want to consider some better Heatsinks, which may drop th temps by 5C, also Arctic Silver wouldnt hurt :)

But if you dont get anything, dont be goin nuts about the temps, because they really arent that bad.

It needs a fan, an old cpu fan should do.

Did you noticed a significant performance increase, or did the bell curve take effect? (drop off in performance at really high o/c's)

I was wondering, because I'm running mine at 145/333 and would like to push it a little further. I have bigass hs/fan on mine too.

you wont be able to take the ram any higher (BELIEVE ME!) but you should be able to get the core to 170 as well( 3Dmark 2000 score : 6516)
