With this round of GPU’s the term “overclocked” or “superclocked” is a smoke screen, it’s marketing pure and simple. These puppies can go much higher in terms of raw clock speed and heat and still live to fight on.
Indeed they will, but constantly put under such stresses will eventually wear them out, that's what I'm saying, saying that'll never take damage when clocked is not what happens in reality ...
