Don't think the VF900 will fit on the GTX to be honest
7900GTX: Stock cooler or VF900?
Ok I just recieved my 2x7900GTX's that I bought off USforces (thanks man

) but the stock heatsinks are MAHOOSIVE!!!1
I've got a VF900 on my present 7900GT and a few spare ramsinks lying about, should I move it over to one of the 7900GTXs? Or is the stock cooler good enough? The only thing i'm thinking about is that the VF900 might lower my GPU temps but as it has no exhaust feature my actual sys temps might go up?
Any ideas?

It's the same PCB as the 7900GT... just more RAM. It will fit.
I say just stick with stock. those coolers are excellent as-is.

The accelero would be good though

Has anybody ever tried to change the fan on the stock cooler ?

Don't know about on here, but on a few other places i'm currently reading others have. i'm probably going to sell one of the 7900GTXs on and overclock the other one. So I want to get the best possible heat dissipation possible, but if it means my NB overheats or I can't get overclock my CPU more then i won't bother.
Maybe I can be the guinea pig and test both, and record changes in sys temps as well
