Unfortunately i didnt record benchmarks before i replaced the blower with a ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV
My blower in 3DMark was hitting temps of 80+ degrees. After adding the Accelero, it was hitting 64 degrees max.
Installed
PNY bios
GPU oc'ed +170
GPU Mem +600
GPU temp maxed 64 degrees

The PNY bios only allows me to boost to 112% (280W) so this morning i flashed to a Palit bios (that was a bit butt-clenching but it worked) giving me the ability to boost to 124% (310W).

GPU oc'ed +200

My trouble is, i think the VCPU is being throttled anyway. I think I'm not doing this right.
