I've done it and i know from experience... It get's really hot ! So cooling is not an option ! I will contradict the ones that said iti will work just fine with stock cooling...NO IT WON'T ! mine had artefacts at the smallest overclocking...and besides..u know that 9800pro core is 380mhz and XT is 412mhz...pro is hot allready... there is no need for other explanation...JUST GET A GOOD COOLER ! i sugest if you go with air cooling the Zalman zm80c + op1 [or a better fan if you consider overclocking -op1 is made for extra silence] or an Artic Cooler [example ver 3]...select the one u like better...but DO IT ! ;)
