When he posted this at the site above, do that additional cooling give u a better score in 3dmark with just better cooling??

i guess... the cooler the GPU the faster it will technically run.. but can anyone verify this??

The cooler you get the GPU, the higher you can OC the core, at least to an extent.

Exactly - if it runs cooler, that means nothing. It means maybe it will last 20 years instead of 15... Only if you overclock the core/memory will the card actually run faster, and a cooler card usually allows you to overclock more.
