Well, the community couldn't cope with press releases every month or so.
It was simply too much.
The "heat" factor is still there, (9800GX2, anyone?), and aircooling isn't able to handle it adequately.
On the other hand, in my opinion Wc, still has to be more specific, ie, specialized, like low-noise, better integration, etc, or simply follow the motherboard manufacturer's game, of selling boards based on massive PR actions and how much it can overclock.
After the initial momentum, it slowly fades away.
BillA, a long time ago mentioned the way AMG developed parts for mercedes, (a niche market), sort of implying that the cooling manufacturers, maybe, should progess in that direction.
It's a thought worth remembering.
