It might help compared to whatever cheapo stock goop they put on there, but you're probably talking a few degrees at most.

Depends on the card manufacturer. You'd have to check with XFX

I forgot to note in the review that I've already got an EVGA GTX 650 Ti BOOST SuperClocked in-hand and will be reviewing that soon so we'll also have some SLI results for you.
Other cards are starting to roll in as well. EarthDog has a Galaxy version coming and I think one other is supposed to be coming.

I started by writing tutorials on forums ages ago. I was also a moderator at the abit (former motherboard manufacturer) technical support forum, so that gave me a small bit of hardware/industry knowledge credibility. Then when I heard through a friend a site he wrote for wanted a writer, I used those tutorials as writing samples and was added to the team of a smaller site.
Then, when Overclockers revamped their home page about four years ago now, I jumped in on the ground floor. Several of us core editors built our industry contacts (most of the manufacturers had worked with past people on our site, but we were a new team so we had to rebuild those relationships). We're a large enough site that we have the privilege of working directly with Intel, AMD (both sides - CPU & GPU) and NVIDIA as well as the vast majority of their partners. After doing this in some form for the past six'ish years, it's just grown to the point we're at now.
Anyone is welcome to submit reviews for the front page with the caveat that you have to meet our editorial standards and it has to be on something we haven't either already reviewed or have already planned for review.

If you want to get involved, here's the info sticky from the News Team sub-forum. Just read up and create a thread with questions.
That info sticky is a little dated though.

Probably the best thing to do is pick out a piece of hardware you have and write a review of it.
Read some of the reviews on the OCF frontpage, that is the writing quality and review quality that you'll need.
Do note that it takes a while, it's far from a free lunch. My average PSU review for instance takes 4-6 hours and is 3000-4000 words and 3-5 dozen pictures.
Average GPU review, excluding testing time (which is significant) is probably 3-4 hours for me, and another 3000-5000 words.
Longest so far was about 6000 or 7000 words, somewhere in there.
Shortest PSU review all time was "only" 2900 words.
So, start writing, post a thread with your review in it, and go from there.
