Since the 5 series every GPU they made quotes board power truthfully, has proper cooling on every component on the board and hasn't been deemed loud (exc 6990).

Now that I've retorted your digression, why don't we get back to both the insufficient power regulation (for OC) and insufficient cooling for the VRMs then?
