i just think it wouldnt have any negative impacts if they decided to put in a bigger fan (a 1-2 cm increase would probably work just fine and not be too hard to fit in there) if they are plugging in power through the top, they they must have extra room up there.
imagine every review showing how their stock cooler can keep it cooler and quieter than the competition. alot of people would look at that as a 50$ savings over having an aftermarket one, or waiting a year for the nice coolers to come out on cards that go for 30-50$ over the rest. noise is a big selling point, and they should recognize it finally.
