typically, the reference models can do the speeds the OC models can, assuming you've got good airflow. Might be a bit louder since your fans might go faster.
Sadly $1100 is far too much to upgrade from a 980, but i'm still interested in what it can do. Maybe an 1180 ;)
If you're going to be mucking about with cooling blocks, you might as well go whole hog and use water.
