Lots of people like cool running cards. Look at all the people that skipped the R9 200 series for Nvidia 700 series strictly because the 700 series ran cooler. Personally I could care less, but it seems that for a lot of consumers this is a valid concern.
Again that is one of those metrics that overrode all others for those particular consumers. For instance:
I don't care about noise: Have an air conditioned cabinet that houses both my Wife's computer and mine so noise is not an issue. Have a DELTA MEGA FAST fan in mine and trust me no fan is louder. I do run it @5V because @12V you can hear it thru the case and outside my house. Damn good benching fan but not the average user.
Don't care about power usage: I pay my own bills and as long as I can there is no need to concern my self with the little difference a change would make.
Money: Unfortunately it limits me more than I wish. Actually instead of money I should say WIFE. She is what keeps me from buying some of what I want, FEAR THE WRATH. LOL
Again some people are polar opposite of my metrics and that doesn't make them stupid wrong or a fanboy.
