crappy stock gfx hsf?

[Thuleman]

I just don't get it. 7800gtx, retail value around $500, and a $30 aftermarket hsf (vf700-cu) is cooling it significantly better than the stock one. Looking at the parts, there has got to be a significant markup on the vf700. Why can't manufacturers equip their cards with better heatsinks? I mean considering their production volume it would only tack on a few dollars to the card. Am I missing the obvious?

edit: ficksed teh spleeing...

the cooling supplied is adequate. They dont want you overclocking their cards anyway probably because then they have to take all the returns when people ruin them

i asked this question earlier too, actually some of the companies include amazing cooling, bfg for instance mostly use copper heatsinks... all they need is a reseat and as5 applied and they're good.

but yea what matt00926 said, cooling is fine on any stock card, even at high temps the card should be ok, it's just people that want to o/c that would care really
