Zucker2k - Thanks very much for posting your settings, your help has made a huge difference in my own clocking results!
m4gg0t - I agree, those temps are very high! Since I put my GTX295 on water my NB temps are gone down almost 4C but the biggest temp change occured from attaching a 40mm fan (the stock eVGA 680i Ultra NB fan) to my NB. Its pretty ghetto but I just used a small piece of double-sided foam tape (1/4" x 14") to attach the fan directly to the NB heatsink (I put the tape on the center on the fan, right behind the fan motor). Fortunately there is a fan header right there next to the NB because the 3-pin cable is very short (Ch 3 Fan). Now my NB temps never go above 39C no matter what I'm doing which is great for such a cheap add-on.
mikeyakame - Can you explain how you removed the heatpipe between the NB and SB? I realize it can just be cut but did you remove it some other way so that it could be re-attached later if needed (like for an RMA)? From my personal experience RMA's are hard enough with Asus and modifying the heatsinks would most likely VOID any warranty coverage (can you verigy this A-Grey)?
Thanks to everyone for all the help and information in this thread!
