    I just started Overclocking a little on my R3 with a 580M GPU,

    Temps are aound 71C at the highs, but I heard there may be a Heat Sink Upgrade? Anyone have any experience with this?

    Also Anyone have a walkthrough with OC and the Voltage BIOS or stuff like that?

    71C is perfectly fine. You can check for overheating by following this article. If the temps are below 90C everything is fine.
