Has anybody here had any experiences with this combo?

Even if you haven't, do you think this cooler's VRM and RAM heatsinks will help eliminate the dangers in overclocking this card? A lot of people I have found on here have said that the GTX 570 had some issues with burned-out VRM's.

I've seen reports of that as well but I think the problem diminished with later batches.
I picked up my 570 right after launch and have it sitting at 830/2000 Mhz at 1.038v just fine. Many people have them clocked up to 900 core at 1.1v with no problems..
Honestly it wouldn't be something I'd worry about, especially if you have a later batch. Some custom 570's also had enhanced delivery phases for those that were worried.

I was concerned since I have mine clocked at 855 MHz with 1.075v. I run my fan at full blast and it stays around 68-72C at max load. (I'm going to attempt 860MHz tonight)

It should be fine, honestly.
The only reason why I haven't gone further with mine is because I'm on a reference cooler and this card generates a metric ton of heat. My card hits 90C at load.. kind of ridiculous and yes it's completely dust free ^-^
Once upon a time I tested my cards limits and it couldn't get past 860MHz, no matter the voltage.. In fact it became worse with more volts, so I just stuck to 100 MHz over stock considering the heat. My card's a rather weak clocker but most people can hit 900Mhz just fine.
