I've just been trying different things to get the best results I can until we get an official profile from nvidia, and by the sounds of Luthiers last post that may be still some time away seeing it won't happen until the final release goes to Steam.

I'd never do that unless it was overheating and locking up or something., even then I'd just RMA it.
80% plus use and temps around 90 Deg with GTX 480's....I couldn't care less if it burns down the house....if it was going to it would have by now.
Your using 450s...you need every frame you can squeeze out of them.
