I've encountered the same thing with ATI gto^2. Great overclockers and on air. Core 400mhz>520mhz and 1ghz on ram > 1.2ghz. On water get about 30mhz on the core. Ram doesn't get any better with heatsinks.

It seems heat is not as a much of a factor in current parts. Once you hit the wall with air cooling, it seems like you really hit a wall and water doesn't offer much improvement in performances.
