Guys,

I already tried a measily 405/740 overclock with stock and It seems alright. Looped 3dmark2001 & future mark 2003 with no problems or artifacts.. I have a cool case with 1 120 MM side video card fan blowing are on it from the side, and also an 80MM fan next to it.. 2 exausts, 1 120 mm blowhole fan with exaust at the top and 2 intake at the bottom under the harddrives.. My case rarely gets over 29c.... I wont to try more overclocking but im afraid to push it, has anyone bought any heatsink and fan combos for this card??
