Well guys, I think the topic question is quite clear...please, I want your opinions, specially from those of you who have already tested it.
Thanks in advance!!

Yes it will fit (no I havn't tried it but I'm pretty sure I read on the forums here it fit).

It's pretty universial, i'd be suprised if it didn't.

Do you really need it? I've got my BFG 7900GT OC overlocked like a b**ch and it
still only reads low 40s C under a load (playing BF2). I have an Antec PlusView II
case with a 120mm fan in the back and an 80mm in the front and on the side, so
I'm not doing anything special to try to keep it cool. I think nVidia just did an
exceptional job making a great card.

Yeah, I need it, Mine hits 75ºc under heavy load after a few hours. It's clocked much higher than yours (565/1700)....that's why there is that wide difference in temps...I am afraid

My XFX 7900GT was hitting 55C on a cool day with the stock cooler after an hour of RTHDRIBL, plus the fan was an annoying whiner IMHO. I just put a Zalman VF700 CU on my card and the temps are down by 10C and my computer is now quiet once again. :heart:

PS - the heatsink fins cleared all the ramsinks with no modding needed. I had to clip some fins on a few ramsinks when I installed one of these coolers on an X800GTO2.
