I have heard that the stock cooler on the 7900 GTX actually has a good stock cooler, at least that is what I was told when I inquired about this same subject. I was told it wasn't worth spending the extra money.

Compared to a custom WC, yes, they are crap. On a lot of cards, they are on par or SLIGHTLY better than most high end air coolers. Google it yourself

Vmods are a ***** on the 7900GTX. You can't get above 730MHz without them anyway.

Really? Interesting. Are volt mods hard to do on a 7900GTX? I am considering doing it now if theres a chance I could get above 730Mhz.
Edit: Guys below me, this is a 7900GTX OCing thread. Please take your X1900 talk elsewhere. I'm trying to get some answers here! lol

Can you get a custom WC for $50?
Stock X1900 Heatsink (w/ AS5)
Mid-90's Load/65C Idle
Tidewater (w/ AS5)
Mid 50's Load/40C idle
How is that not worth it?

Yes. They're not a walk in the park pencil mod like the 7900GT. Rather difficult.
