A successful overclock will demand more current and produce more heat. In the case of the ASICMiner Blade, the stock heatsinks can be somewhat unreliable as they are only attached in 6 places spaced fairly far apart. Thermal conductivity with the ACICS can be marginal in the case of an overclock, but good enough for the stock 10.7GH. If you are noticing that efficiency isn't reaching percentages in the high 90%'s you may need to add chip side heatsinks and cooling.
Chip side heatsinks are an option to increase efficiency on an overclocked blade and can help tremendously increase mining efficiency.

| Aluminum Heatsink For ASIC Chip Side Cooling |
To add extra thermal mass and surface area to dissipate heat from the top of the ASICS, I use 16 of the above pictures heatsinks arranged carefully on the chips labled BE100. There are 32 of them on the chip side of the board in 8 rows of 4 :).
I use a special 3M thermal conductive adhesive applied to the heatsink and just peel and stick one heatsink per every two ACIC's See below.
