It has no fan, my Thermaltake tower got three extra fans on it... So what
kind of setting should I dare to have on the overclocktool without melting
the b0x?
Anyone else tried the expertool?

ive been building tweaking pc since stoneage..if you want your pc to remain
fast dont let it get close to 60 degree..i got mine at 50 degree whan im
gaming..and never more than 10% overclocked.

You havn't used the standard NVIDIA Control Panel yet? Slowdown
temperature is about 130°C. My 7950 GT with passive cooling is about 69° in
normal windows mode, and about 95° while gaming with only one 120 Case
Fan.
Not overclocked yet. But 50°C is nothing for a passiv cooled gpu. For exact
information on critical gpu temparature you should contact the
manufacturer. Or maybe there's a datasheet around with this kind of
information.
8600 seems to be 44-47°C passive, my last card with fan (GF6800) was
in the mid 60s°C.
130°C sounds insane past melting stuff up.
Dislikes the "new" NVIDIA control panel.

Well 130° is the slowdown value given by NVIDIA, so it can't
be that insane. I remember old Cyrix CPUs where 90°C was the
normal operating temperature with the standard fan. And that was
about 10 (?) years ago.
And what is the meaning of a passive cooled gpu when your case is
full of fans? I can barely hear my pc and I think I got a pretty
good setting (Core 2 Duo 6600+, 7950 GT, 2 GB Kingston, 400 GB
Seagate SATA 7200rpm).
Yes. The first editions of it was crap. No problems with mine so far.
I liked that it had AGP & PCI-E so that I could keep my GF 6800
for an extra year.
