EVGA 7900GT KO.

[Topweasel]

Speed never seems enough. I am looking to pick up two GTs and selling off my 7800GTX for like 200 or 250.

I am really interested in the Volt mods, but picking up a heatsink and some ram sinks would be a good option. But this longer 7800GTX like heatsink all copper looks alot better. I am wondering if anybody has purchased it or whether you guys think it would be a good option. Basically if this is good enough that I wouldn't need a new HSF, I will get this.

If anybody has any opinions on this please voice them.


Side comment: Right now I am only interested in 7900GTs, for SLI reasons, performance reasons. I don't care about the Prices of X1800XTs or whether a XTX would be a better buy. For this reason please leave out any thing not related to either this 7900GT, or other good buys 7900GTs.

Well, for starters the single slot cooler is all copper hence behing KO edition. It also covers the ram chips! But the MOST important thing next to that is noise, and i bet EVGA tweaked the fan abit since even NV suggested that the GTs stock cooler wasnt all that great.

Well thats what I am wondering. Honestly it just looks like its based off of the 7800GTX. But I am hoping that it is good enough for a volt mod to take it up to 600.

Hopefully they will hit soon. I was kind of thinking of grabing one to help sell the 7800 and even take some time to decide whether to get another and SLI or step up to the GTX. But I am pretty sure I want to get two.

Well maybe I will wait a week or two.
