I finally bit the bullet and ordered a BFG 6800 OC from Outpost. I plan to O/C a bit more than is stock probably and was wondering if I should remove the heatsink that comes with the card and replace the thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5.

Will the stock HS/F be OK for pushing this card a bit or will I need to invest in an aftermarket cooling system to get decent speeds?

I have a hardcano temperature gauge installed as well in my machine. What would be the best way of connecting one of the temperature probes on the 6800 OC?

I'm overclocking the same card with the stock cooler. I'm @ 370/800 right now. I haven't removed the heatsink yet, but its time will come. :)
