I wouldn't be sure big fat coolers guarantee a good overclock. I recently tried overclocking a 7800GTX (standard) which had a full size 512 style cooler (like the new Leadtek boards have). It didn't get past 470mhz without visible corruption. Pity, with all those pipes and big fan. I believe you need a good core as well as good cooling.
