Just an FYI, but the eVGA ones already come with some sort of silver grease that resembles AS5. It isn't AS5, but it looks fairly close.

A VF900 will be quieter. I'll be the first to admit that the stock fan is loud as hell.

The Stock cooler isnt bad for stock use. However if you wish to overclock it then the VF-900 comes very reccomended.
