It's true - I think although my 990X needs slightly higher volts than your uber-golden chips, it still runs remarkably cool on air. The 970 I had before had a better IMC than my current chip but it ran hotter, and that was with the copper TRUE and very powerful fans compared to my current vanilla regular TRUE. I'm amazed that I get "only" 85C load @ 4.5GHz with quiet fans (Gentle Typhoon AP-15) on my TRUE with 20C ambient.
