Please remember to go easy on the penciling, slowly adding more. If you want to make the change more complete, but reversible, use hot glue or tape. Also keep in mind the memory speed is doubled; seeing 800MHz means your memory is running at 1600MHz effective. Note your temps. If your temps are becoming too high, stop penciling, and don't go any higher until you change the heatsink.

 holy mother of silicon!!! 
     I always knew the 7600gt could do more clock than the measly 560mhz its stocked at....but wow! 715! thats  faster than a 7800GT ...

Actually when it comes to the 7600gt and 7900gt, the jump in power from a good overclock is sick.

51% faster fps!

Sure you dont need the special heatsink - if you have a spare old cpu sink, and are crafty you can latch it down

I don't think the 7600gt is as impressive, but still - It takes a good deal of power to churn out 7500 points in 3dmark, over the standard 6k for it.
