Nice enough deal for the 6% OC version... not the TOP (16%) that all the reviewers got to test. It's a respectable buy that could get a little more OC'n out of it.
However even though it looks like the TOP I wouldn't anticipate near that level of OC'n. Nvidia has gotten really good at sorting their chips, and the ASIC quality they send to AIB’s for their Über offerings is what they pay for and they pass along to you.
While the GK104 on this might show it can clock up, or close to the level a TOP offers, ultimately BIOS and dynamic control of the chips internal heat which dictates what it adjusts the clocks to be. Even though you may well see it set at 10% OC, under actual load YMMV. And, while you say it’s got a great cooler... it has more to do with internal firing within the silicon not how well the cooler can transfer the BTU’s the chip produces. Don’t get me wrong it will help against say a reference cooler, but it has so much to do with the ASIC characteristics that the manufacturing process provided.
