XFX 8800gt bigger cooling fans than standard

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.

might be enough to stop me getting the 8800 gts alpha dog and get this

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?
