    Does it really matter?

    For me the results are more important than the motivation.

    Just interested considering they denied claims that the fault would affect cooling and yet the come out and release this improved card. Seems a little suspicious no?

    One of the reasons I immediately dismissed the EVGA when deciding what 970 to get was the heatsink flaw.
