Exactly... You don't go complain to Intel that you can't hit 4GHz on an E8400 because their stock cooler is holding it back. You don't go demand they design a better than what is required heatsink to cool the CPU at it's stock speed either.

The 5970 is designed to run at its stock speed, just like any other PC component. You want better overclocks, go and get an aftermarket cooler.
