it's not a very good core at all. its OB is rather weak considering the OB's high usage drain and OB heat. but worst of all, if i recall correctly, it has one of the lowest heat resistance ratings of any core in the game. that makes it especially dangerous when OB starts to spool.
i'm thinking that equipping other parts with high cooling ratings, a generator with low calorific value, and a radiator with high cooling and/or high forced cooling. even if you manage to get a good combo of parts, i don't think the payoff will be worth the effort. from what i observe at tournaments, the UL, UL2, and EOS cores seem to be the only ones worth using if you plan to abuse OBing. HELIOS is a great OB core by itself, but without hangers or CAMS, you might as well use the EOS.
