I wouldnt go over what you can get in afterburner voltage wise on air. Its not just GPU temps you need to watch, and that VRM temp is only a general reading, not from within any of the card componentry.
Water cool if youre vmodding dude, seriously. Youll get more clock from the temp drop anyway without touching voltage than you would by vmodding on air. You didnt do that to any of your 3 295's did you? :p:
I have been OCing on air for about 10 years and I don't plan to change; hell I won some of my hardware in air OCing competitions.
I never touched anything having to do with voltages on the 295, as many know, there was only water cooling.
