After the mod i could benchmark the card to1043 @ 1.293v shroud fans max, and 2x rad fans at 2500 rpm (loud but for benchmark purposes). Temps were 52-56 max depending on app (not any type of burntest, just games and such) and ive seen 17c startup temps with idle moving up to 19c max for hours afterwards.
Two matrix platinum.... im so jelly

Here's was my first post to the thread comparing the stock cooler to the 920.

Configuration: Unigine Heaven, 950 MHz @ 1275 mV, stock Antec TIM and fans
For those of you wondering if you can run 2 separate instances of the Antec Chill Control software with 2 Antec 920s in your system, here is the reply I received from Antec support.

Unfortunately you can only control one kuhler at a time. but if you got the 620, it has a built in sensor and both will adjust to your computers temperature.
Actually, I didn't think having 2 Matrix cards would be such a hassle! The heat output from the two cards is ridiculous! I had to upgrade to a Haf X from a Corsair 650D in order to adequately cool the cards. The Haf X provided more PCI slots for air and a side intake fan.
