I'm don't understand why you would pay the extra for an OCed addition... I hit over that on reference cooler.

If it is a higher binned chip maybe I could understand

i'm assuming that most overclocks, at least ones like this, are binned chips that can perform higher.
im also assumeing that the coolers on overclocked chips are a bit better than standard reference.
granted im also willing to also take a lower clocked chip over a higher clocked one so they spit out less heat.

now with that said, what moron named it "goes like hell"
they should be fired
i have never heard anything, besides bat out of hell, that sounds like it performs fast.
have you ever thought, "runs like hell" and thought it was a good thing?

Now if only they would go back to selling cards in North America... Owned a Gainward Golden Sample a while back and it was definitely worth the money.
 


The GTX780 has a very good reference cooler. So I agree with you in some sense.

Alidan, the term "Goes Like Hell" has a history that is far older than you.

I think it is awesome that they called it that. The GLH and GLHS were awesome little cars.

googled GLH, and all it popped up was Shelby GLHS
its about as old as me, and considering the first time i heard it runs like hell was while a description my parents used to talk about a car, saying goes like hell sounds really REALLY stupid.
