I'm using no case though which could help a bit. But I'd better be on the conservative side concerning overclocking, the tiny heatsinks I have here don't look like they can dissipate too much heat.
I had heat problems in my case from wdlabs, coming from the 2gb hdd i put in there with my RasPi.
Used a cooler from an old graphics card with a 2mm peace of copper as a spacer (so the cooler can't touch any electronics on the board). Used thermal adhesive instead of pads and the cooler is cut out to fit in between gpio, hdmi and camera connector. Works well, considering there is no active cooling.
Other option would be to use an old ide cable as an extender and place the soundcard somewhere else. Then you can cool down the RasPi however you want
