I recently had a bout of bad luck with my video card. I bought a 6800GT a little while back, and I bought a Thermalright V1 for it. The day I received the V1, the 6800GT died. So, I ship the card back, Newegg's out of stock, so they're refunding me. However, now the 7800GT is out... I'm looking at it seriously, instead of replacing with another 6800GT. The issue is, I really want to use the V1. Does anyone know of a reason why the V1 WON'T work on the 7800GT? It looks, from the dozens of pictures I've looked at, that the basic setup is the same on the 7800GT as it was on the 6x series, so it doesn't look like mounting is a problem. Any ideas on heat or such? Is the 7800GT cooler running, or does it just use less power?

Thanks in advance.
