Thats why first rev cards often look the same no matter from wich partner it is.
They get them first rev cards with attached cooler, some partners take the trouble to remove the reference cooler and put on their own but thats rare, most just put on another sticker.
after the first rev the partners are allowed to make their own cards.
But thats i guess the reason why Connect3d can usualy sell their cards at a slightly lower price.
Put on a new sticker and throw it int he box and ship it.
I think cards are made by the different AIBs, but heatsinks are made by ATI.
