Artic.ac seems to have a redirect loop that stops it from loading.

Cool. It's sad that people think AMD sucks because of their poor coolers. It will make them step it up though, so that's a good thing.

I don't think I would ever pay another $100+ just to get a new cooler for a GPU.

 

Why not just get a GPU that comes with a better custom heatsink design from the start?

I'm really looking forward to see how well it will overclock with some decent cooling, I know it's made to run constantly at 95C but the stock cooler is really appalling and loud.

If you do it for cpus, I don't see the difference. Plus, gpus often need the cooling more.
