The heat sink is very close to the mobo so all the air goes out towards the case door. I always leave my case open (mod gone wrong), so I get a VGA Silencer effect where the hot air isn't kept inside the case.
The old sink used to give me a 412 MHZ core overclock and I couldn't even touch the sink. Now I get 438.8 MHZ and the base of the sink is only warm. I know this still isn't very high so I was thinking of doing the pencil volt-mod. Who here did it and can give some feedback?
Also, am I stuck with a bad core that I get these low overclocks? I've seen people with the R360 getting 460-470MHZ with stock cooling :( , what is reasonable for an R350 core?

I am going to do a pencil volt mod soon as well ill let you know how that goes.As far as reasonable for the 360 id say about 420 is reasonable people were getting better over clocks with the 350 cote.

So you're saying the R350 core is better than the R360 one? How's that? The R360 is the XT one while the R350 is the Pro one.

No one knows why for sure.Many think its becuase they are under volting the card or they are putting the choice cores in the xt and the rest in the pro.When i do my volt mod ill know if they are undervolting or not.If it is undervloted hopeful i can put up to at least its rated and get a much better overclock.
