Who gives a crap that on stock cooler u have artifacts with some Diamond Black edition junk....?
It follows the reference design... so it shouldn't happen only w/ diamond.
Anyway, even u got better cooling u won't made the VRM stronger, and that's the point, u will still having to choose if u wanna clock the gpu or the memory, u still worried that u got a weak overloaded noisy digital VRM w/ only 3 phases...
Exception to the new Gainward Goldensample 4870, it have the same analog 4 phases vrm as the 4850 but w/ better and bigger ferrite chokes and mosfets, better and all solids capacitors, 8pin PCI-e conector and a plus of DDR5.
