It's really dependent on the problem....
They lose enough money on selling new systems so yeah...in a sense they are 'band aiding' the problem by adding a heat sink...but..if that's all it takes ....fine...it's not just the GPUs but the CPUs also...those boys run HOTHOTHOT...hehehe
This is what I think I am hating about these next gen systems is that they are too much like PCs now...
KEVLAR...how far in are you?
