They say that the aib partners can have the option to get a cooler from ATI. All I see the aib's doing is slaping a new sticker on them just like they do now. The only difference is HIS and their ice series or whatever. I really wish the ATI had EVGA too or at least a board partner as good. They usually have good coolers and have great customer service, unlike the only board partner from ATI that changed the air cooling on the card, HIS.

Hey, I got a line on ATI's next gen. cooler. For their top-of-the-line 1Kw Crossfire cards they'll be using an external unit made by Amcor. Right now the only thing that's holding them back is a few minor problems with producing the flexible dual slot intake adapter. No doubt nVidia's anxious to get their hands on it.

^^-That won't be easy to carry to a lan party.Even for crossfire,thats just too big.And that isn't something ATI should be proud of,cause they are just openly admitting their cards can ignite diesel.And shouldn't the 65nm process make things run cooler.
