I agree. Did you see the OCP's 100% test?

I know it only shows an improvement with one game (FC3) but it still gives you an idea of what better coolers will do.

That's impressive how much heat plays into the throttling, with the results on the other link at overclockers.... we should see most hitting 1100 Core and around 6000 memory no problem with some hitting higher.
I can't wait until we see AIB/Aftermarket solutions.
