ATI cards sent to their AIB partners are (by default) gonna be coolerless anyway.

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.
