You can't honestly be suggesting that review sites should refuse to use certain features because they want to send a company a message.
Yes, that is what i'm saying. Having a BIOS switch that compromises the user experience is asinine - this should not be an issue, there should not be a BIOS switch. What there should be is a cooler that can handle quiet acoustics without throttling excessively - with the existing shroud, you pick and choose. This should not be the case and is not acceptable.
I remember that the Titan shroud cooler was quieter at 80% manual fan than the 7970 shroud at 45% manual fan. Which was mind boggling because the Titan shroud was spinning at a much higher RPM. What does this tell you? AMD is stuck in 2009 thinking that their 4 year old shroud is good enough. Sorry, that isn't the case.
