Well i'll try to improve the temperatures passivly by heatsinks first. that means sinks on mosfets and maybe the copper mounting holes.
Think that should be enough then.
With stock cooler the GPU reached 90°C as temperature by standard and so I think the card got even a bit hotter as now. additionally I think these mosfets are designed for high temperatures. But yes the ramchips may be the most sensitive parts on the card
Silence and volt-modding don't really mix well, but you may be able to find a good balance.

I'm sure the MOSFETs are designed for higher temps, but I'm also sure they'll work better if you can keep them cooler.
