I'm OCing w/ a zalman heatpipe. I have the OP1 fan, but it's not attached. Using 1 side panel fan, and 2 rear exhaust, all Panaflo L1As. Case temp is reading at 35C.

Just playing around just now, I tried OCing and then running 3dmark to check for artifacts. Ended up settling the memory at 365, any higher and it snows badly. The gpu is 425, at 430 I was seeing some empty polygons. Still, what an incredible overclock WITH PASSIVE COOLING. I plan on adding 2 more panaflos to the front of my case for intakes, so hopefully that will drag more air across the card.

I'm very impressed. VERY.
