Overclocking test is needed, imo. Screw the temps, get to the end result - we're beating around the bush with temperatures (and will be for some time), and the end result is the overclock. Jump straight to the conclusion, no need for the plot twist...
Why isn't cooling efficiency a valid end result even if divorced from overclockability?
You imply that a drop in operating temp is not worth anything unless I also spend extra time trying to wring a few MHz more out of my PC.
