I then placed a 120mm fan right in fornt of the opening and I also have a case fan blowing inwards as well.

Previously @ 1.2V I could barely get 840/1150 stable and the core temp maxed out @ 84 degrees while playing CoD4. Now I am at 860/1000 @ 1.25V and the core temp maxed out @ 82 degrees playing CoD4 for an hour. I was also able to pass multiple3 loops of 3DMark05/06 w/o any freezes.

I have not tried to max out 1.25V yet but I will try 880 later on this weekend.

Just thought I'd share.
Touge have you been able to perceive any improvements in benches. Like in 3dmark or crysis??

I say so, cause in my case overclocking does not yield ANY improvement in benches or fps.
