Remember... they are corporate level. They do not need to buy the reference card with reference cooler and then take that off and slap a different cooler on. In fact I bet you they have a deal with AC to promote AC's products.
Yes, AC doesn't have to risk putting an aftermarket cooler on the market that may not sell because it's so specialized. Another company bought the sinks already and is helping AC with publicity. It's winning for just about everyone. The card will probably cost a bit more than a reference card, so who's losing money on the corporate end?
