Wondering about your overclocking results. Mine on the stock cooler will only do +50 on the core and +200 on the mem. Going to add some heatsinks to the memory on the back of the card to see if it helps any.

    I've read one article where they +500 on the memory, I've also stressed using precision x stress for 12 minutes without artifacts and ran uningine more than once with that clock speed and no artifacts and the temps only got to 65C max. Supposedly from the article the 660SC has similar cooling like the 670 and the cooling was better than the 660TI. That's from the article not my own opinion on the cooling. Be Careful if you try it out.

    I just added heatsinks to the memory on the rear of the reference card and can now do 7000mhz effective in BF3. Will link pics after i post 5 more times

    I don't think many people water cool the 660 because for the price of a water cooler you might as well just get a 670.

    A lot smoother at 7000 compared to 6000 
     
    Heatsinks i added

    without heat sinks I was on able to clock to 560 max on memory, at 570 unigine valley would crash at random times during the benchmark. I did risk 600 and watched temps and max I got on one run was 1399, but ran again and crashed, so 550 was the max stable OC I got it to. I won't post that score on the unigine post since it crashed after another run on the 600 OC. I'll post again in there when I upgrade my CPU.
