Has anyone used this combination to cool their 5850?

Both appear to be made to work together, and from the specs sheet it looks like both mount with the coolers pointing "down" toward the bottom of the case instead of up (which is important because my thermalright 120 on the cpu juts out up top.
In anycase, I'm wondering if the extra money spent on this combo would be worth it. Obviously the noise factor would be greatly reduced over the stock cooling, but what I don't know is how much more, if any, room it will give me at overclocking. Currently I run my 5850 at 1250 Volts, 935 core and 1200 memory. Fan set about 60%. What I'm most curious about is if this new cooling combo would give me more headroom to oc the card.
Any thoughts, suggestions?
