First off they are cherry picked chips and additionally they are using a cooler that up to 24C cooler than a stock cooler.

Add in these are the most expensive 4870 you can get and you can't use this as evidence as what a normal 4870 will overclock.

My 4870 x2 will crash every once in a while unless I overclock it to less than 766 of the core and 915 on the memory. My 4870 x2 overclocks brutally.
Cherry picked chips? Prove that! No need to cherry picked chips for 25Mhz overclock
Most expensive 4870? Bull!
