So I think I'll try the 20% OC kit then. I have around a dozen DCs so am willing to risk one.

I ran the 10% OC for a time, while otherwise completely stock. I saw no difference in heat, at least superficially. But I would say it's unsustainable. I now have the
noctura and the only heat seems to come from the PSU. But really the noctura is such a great upgrade I would do it even without OC.
And, not to sound like a shill, but
Dragoncity's fan controller seems like a good alternative. Also the only option for a VA0. Shipping to USA kinda kills it though. I can also
highly recommend Laser Bear. I usually go for their "blemished" items. Which honestly always looked perfect to me.
