Once I get back home tomorrow from Thanksgiving break, i'm going to modify the bios and try running 1.4v. It should be pretty easy to tell if it actually is feeding more volts to the gpu if your temps under load are higher than the same clocks on the stock unlocked bios.

As far as cooling, there are ton of good coolers out there. Anything that fits the x1900xtx should fit the 3870/50 perfectly. TBH, the stock thermal paste job looked fairly decent when I removed the stock heatsink and replaced it with an Accelero S1 a week ago. The problem is the size of the heatsink. You'd think that a dualslot cooler would have a beefier heatsink, but that thing is pretty measly.

I must be a fortunate one because I am able to hit 877/1314 artifact free and run up to 905 core on Fur. Can't wait to try voltage testing tomorrow when I get back
Don't get too excited about the core settings. yeah they'll run certain apps fine and 2d mode flawlessly but the second you try to play a seriously sensitive game (nfs carbon), it all goes to hell. well it did for me anyways.
