Anyone have any experience with it yet?

It's suppose to be highly OC-able, even at lower than stock voltages. Apple seemed to have fed it more juice than it needed. I've tried undervolting it, which I found pretty effective. Reducing stock voltage from 1V -> 0.9V really helped with GPU temps. As far as overclocking though, I haven't the balls to do it yet. Apparently I've seen various reports of individuals getting it to run at 750/950 (up from stock 600/800) at 0.95 V. Yeah, higher clocks with LOWER volts. Hard to believe, but multiple reports confirming this.

all silicon will vary, so they find a voltage that works for all of them since they dont have time to test each one individually.

So 99% of the time the voltage will be more than needed.

yeah I got it at .955 volts at 800/900, no problems been like this for a long time Played through Crysis 2 campaign with this setting and SC2 MP games. tehre's a great thread over on Macrumors regarding overclocking. good luck!
