Z71v, latest forceware driver and stable speed?

Instead of having to dance around the goggle search engine again, simple question for you guys.

What is the latest info file moded Forceware driver for the machine, where do I find the driver and the mod'd info file, and what has someone pushed a stock heat thermal padded machine to, and stayed stable.

Also, if I do need to pull the pads and run paste for cooling to go to faster speeds, can anyone cut me a copper spacer for the GPU, than I can lap in myself?

Current Forceware on my machine is 82.04 (quality mod, and have performance info mod as well if needed) running at 300/601, but I just loaded this driver, and have yet to full blow test the speed.

Thanks,
Dano

P.S. Next trick will be to find a Go 6800, and try to wedge it into the machine. Anyone kill a Z81SP, and have a extra GPU card handy?

I'm running ForceWare Release 80 Version: 82.10 on my Z71V and am running at 310/710 right now, but that is what I run daily. Not sure what the max is.

Do you have a source for the 82.10 driver and mod inf file.

I am trying to run Half life 2, and the 82.10 is crashing at game load.

Not really ready to back step to 67.03 to allow me to play just the single game when everything else will play on the 82's.

Here is the Performance .INF file and the driver.
