Look, I just bought some heatsinks made of copper wich measurements are 4 times bigger than the ones the card has. That keeps temperatures @ 40ºC Idle and 55ºC Full Charge.
In overclocking there's no magical setup that allows everyone to get the same results. It dependes a lot on your especific VSA. I'll explain this:
When 3dfx built on their VSAs chips they were all constructed and tested the same way a CPU is built. And of course there are chips that can run faster than others. In order to make a standard for the market they've put all V5 cards @ 166 MHz. But there are chips that can reach even more speed. Sometimes one of the two is best than the other (it's a 2 GPU card) and it limitates the preformance of the other. Thats the reason I could get 211 MHz, and of course a great refrigeration.
I put my tRC @ 8 times and tRAS @ 5 times.
Lowering other latencys made the card unstable.
But,it is a fact that increasing 1 or 2 times your latencys instead of lewering them, you may get a few MHz more. Try it!
