Go back and re-read what I wrote. Overheating is just one of the issues you might face with an OEM design card. The much bigger issue is components failing prematurely, causing the card to die. 99.9% of the time when you hear of someone's GPU dying, it's an OEM design card. Reference design cards are damn-near bulletproof.
For most algorithms you likely will not see a drop in hashrate since the GPU chip itself is the same. However, for certain algorithms (such as those that are memory-bound) it is entirely likely you will see a drop in hashrate due to cheaper RAM, cheaper memory controller, etc.
