I don't think so. Heat issue with Fermi is exaggerated. I never saw mine go over 90 while gaming/folding with fan speed controled by AB profile.
BTW I'm used to heat, can't have top performace products without heat. Now, on water cooling (non-extreme, res - pump - EK - EK-vga - rad - back to res) I never saw it go over 50.
I would try 512 cores BIOS if I could find.
