Yeh it is a bit much... people get dreamy with these prices real quick. Also like I said you went from a PREMIUM cooler to a EVEN MORE PREMIUM cooler. All in all how many more FPS does that net the card? Because unless it is going to make it substantially faster why would it be worth more? The TF cooler is already whisper quiet and on ebay I am seeing 6950s and 6970s ended with water blocks on them that didn't up the value.
I'm just trying to be realistic.
If you can safely put the stock cooler back on then go for it. But otherwise I don't see it being worth even $5 more.
