What results have people been getting so far?

Using the MSI BIOS and Afterburner I raised the voltage on my 2 to 1.35V.

I am now running the clocks at 950 and the memory at 4800 (225Mhz boost on the core and 800Mhz on the memory).

I'm not totally convinced that that these settings are 100% stable. My previous settings had the memory at 5000Mhz, and it survived 4 hours of Fur Mark, Vantage, ATi Tool and Heaven benchmark testing. But after a few hours playing Bioshock it froze the system...

Using the current settings though, so far so, so good. :)

I'm a little concerned about the temps though...

When under normal Windows usage/light graphics work, they tend to operate around 50-65°. Under heavy gaming that can go up to 75-80°. Anybody know what the highest acceptable temperature is for these cards?
