Yeah maybe, but what, 10-15 MHz over (good) air cooling? Even if we say 20MHz, that's only a 5% bump on a typical 400MHz gpu.
I'm sure you'll notice the extra 1.5 fps.

Now, bump that gpu Vcore up a notch or two and water has its chance to shine. Heat output goes up much faster with increasing voltage than clock speed.
