I got mine to freq 250. Took out the intake fan and used a fan I had laying around. I replaced the thermal paste for all the chips and only had enough left over for one of the heat sink in the back. You can see the temp difference of replacing the thermal paste. I used Antec F7 since I didn't want to wait for the MX-4 to arrive in the mail. The room is about 23.3C and the fan rarely goes above 1700.

interesting, but why taking out the intake fan?

I experimented with the intake fan on and off. It seemed a little redundant to have a fan blowing into the intake. Once I took off the intake and the piece of metal behind it I saw a ~2C drop in temp.

Edit: I also took the case off.

Oh, so you basically made it S1-like. S1 was known to respond well to an external fan blowing air in the same direction-I used it all the time, but it had zero effect on closed S3, as you would expect.

Yeah. I also took the internal wireless antenna from my old laptop and made it wireless. Its in my room so I needed to make the fan less noisy and ended up with this.
