Which 7950 for overclocking?

I'm probably going to pick up a new video card sometime soon and am looking at the 7950. There are a few cards that have a non-reference cooler on it. Has anyone seen reviews that suggest that the better-cooled cards overclock better? For example, the gigabyte 7950 has this three-fan monstrosity on it:

    Pretty much any 7950 will give you in the ballpark of 1GHz/1.57GHz core/RAM.

    The Sapphire 7950 OC edition and that Gigabyte board are known for doing well.

    I did a quick search for 7950 and found this. Clearly, it overclocks the most. (Model #: BT-7950-KID-HOT-PINK)

    Buying 2, hopefully I can raid-0 them for maximum sitting speed.
