    We've pretty much got the Quadro overclocked to safe limits and have seen great performance increases due to it (well myself anyway, 15-20FPS [consistent] jump).

    I know it' going to be almost impossible or even discouraged for those with heat issues, but I'll leave this thread open for pure speculation. Maybe a few months from now someone will make a program to overclock the T-series such as the T9400 and T9600, in the new M & E Precisions,

    My idle @ the moment is 35C for my CPU. I want to overclock it to 2.8-2.9GHz, since I've had nothing but luck with heat (max CPU temp reaches 65C). I'm hoping to future proof my computer for 2009 games (the GPU is pretty much set already, in the 7500+ 3DM06 range). I'll be doing some research for the next few weeks and asking around overclocking forums.

    Feel free to join me, and throw in any information. It's going to be a long wait until we find the proper/safe method, but I'm sure with our brains it can be done ;). Unless of course, we're locked in by the BIOS/motherboard/chipset =/.

    What do you use to measure temperatures on your chips?
