    It's not supply and demand, because high-end cooling units probably get used as much with graphics as CPUs, at least in expensive desktops.

    Maybe the just reckon that that sort of gamer has more money to blow on overpriced stuff to allow the graphics go faster?

    Considering Thermalright already makes an almost identical version specifically made for graphics cards which doesn't take up as much space, and probably doesn't cost much more (or maybe even less), what's the point? The one made for GPUs seems to be better anyway, since it only rose 35 deg. C w/ a 6800GT (with is much hotter than a 9800 Pro).
