Welcome to the forum
Some people report increased stability of memory when they place heatsinks on them however I can not confirm or deny this information.
When overclocking my Elsa Gforce I had to change the fan which drew its power from the graphic card to a fan which drew its power from the mobo.. it now features a blue orb and can be overclocked with a memory speed higher than yours.. however when benchmarking I found that with a memory speed higher than 170 my gains were so minimal that now run my gforce at speeds identical to yours and found better improvemnets by modifying it.

I do have heatsinks on the rams and a 80mm fan pointing at them. Also HSF on the core. So I don't expect it to be heat issue ?!?
I could give a try to connecting the core fan to the mobo or the psu...
I definitely gained performance by upping the mem freqs. In fact, the more the better, if only i could get it to boot...
BTW, I read in your sig, you modified your mx to report as quadro. What's the difference/improvement???
Thanks for your suggestions.
