Wow, no one seem to have mentioned the fan speed. Untill i installed MSI Afterburner the card would go instantly at 70C because the fan is set to 40% default. I used the handy tool of the user defined gpu fan setting the speed to 45% on 50C, 50% on 60C and so on and now the card idles at 30C and on load it doesnt pass 60C. So that leaves more than enough headroom to OC, even though i dont currently need it all the games run very smooth.
