I've overclocked it using MSI's Afterburner and upped the voltage to 1.087. I'm currently at an overclock of 900MHz core, 1050MHz (4200MHz), and 1800 Shaders. Is this a good overclock? It's very stable with every game I throw at it. I find that it's about equal to 2 8800GTs in SLI.

Pretty darn good. Most reviews have been topping out around the mid 800 range, although a few models (ASUS DirectCU Overclocking Edition for example) have been getting over 900 Mhz.

Well, then, I'm happy with my overclock. It gave me over 2000 more points in 3DMark2006 (I'm still on Windows XP Pro).

I use MSI afterburner to OC and my temps hit 64c with 15 min of the built in kombuster stress test which is similar to furmark.

And 77c after 15 min of the OCCT GPU test at 1080p level 8 shader complexity.

Never seen them above 65c in actual gameplay.

The first thing i did when i received my card was remove the Cyclone cooler and lap it and the GPU heatspreader, re installed with some AS 5. So those temps are not exactly with a stock cooling configuration, but it didnt cost me anything to do other than time.
