That's one of the reasons alright, they cheaped out on us there.

Another reason being because of the shrunken die, you're trying to leech off more concentrated heat, it's coming from a smaller area.
Looks like you're stuck with a lower oc, a better, more expensive cooler (though the chip'll probably still run hot) or backing up to Sandy Bridge if you're dead set on a high oc. That said, do you really need the extra processing power? I'm more than happy with mine at stock speeds and a stable temp (40-50C idle or load).
