just found out XFX's 8800gt's have a bigger cooling fan would this help its cooling problems significanty or wouldn't it do much?

It's a new revised cooler not just for XFX, I know the new EVGA and Leadtek also have it. Here's a review for the performance:

It keeps things 2-3C cooler and it's much quieter.

that makes me happy :) 1600rpm at full speed and 700rpm at idle? that sounds like a nice quiet system to me!

Do you think this is the reason of the low amount of GTs in stock?
That they noticed that the market wanted a better cooler?
