Foxconn (Leadtek) and Flextronics are the card producers, and the distributors are allowed to alter cooling and cooler art, as well as service type offered.

and deal with them over the phone, not via email, american employees actually answer the phone, and actually get the problem solved, I think based on my las emial convo, that that is outsourced to India or China.
