Less than 5% overclocked from the "reference" design.  But if
you are right on the edge, that can make a difference.

LN2 should work just fine.  The problem is the tank :-)

You could be right.  Just as with CPUs (since P4 days?),
current GPUs will slow the clock down to protect against
overheating, and when you are near the edge, every few
percent can matter.

I would agree.  I am also of the "especially picky" group
(and then there is the issue of correctly matching the
source frame rate to avoid the once every 100-500 frame
(depending on the match) glitch that can occur in some
cases).
