This is exactly the issue. AMD only makes the actual GPU, and that is it. All the reference cards were assembled by Flextronics. I do not know what company built that cooler.Some OEM screwing up and underfilling the cooler or improperly sealing it allowing it to evaporate away make a lot more sense to me than anything else I have seen speculated.
