Anyone know which VGA Coolers work for the 7900 GT KO? I had a NV Silencer 5 Rev. 3 on my 7800GT but cannot find anything about it being compatible or not.
 
The NV Silencer will work fine, but it's too long on the exhaust side, you've gotta cut about an inch or so of the plastic duct off to make it fit in a case. Or cut the case, but the plastic is easier :)

That's what I've got on mine.

The Zalmans will work as well.
 
I like and have used the NV Silencers also, but I have a Zalman VF900 on my 7900GT KO. It does its job very well.
 
If you want a Cooler for your 7900GT KO and no modifications needed just buy a ZalMan VF 900-Cu ,it fits perfect ,all you have to do is unscrew the four srews on the back of the card and the HSF will just fall off ,then make sure to clean everthing with some good 91% or better Alcohol and make sure you clean the ram very good so that the heatsinks will stick on and want fall off ,I also put heatsink on the back on them IC voltage regulators that gets real hot ,and once you put the four studs on the Zalman VF 900-Cu in holes 5 ,it will line up perfect,I put some artic Silver 5 on the GPU chip,and the Zalman VF 900-CU made a big difference in my tempertures ,with the stock coolers I was running 51c and 53c and wit a load I was running 88c and 90c ,once I put the Zalmam VF900-Cu on my two 7900GT SS my idle tempertures were 36c and 38c and with load or after playing HL2 E1 for 4 hours my tempertures were 56c and 58c,so it made a big difference for me ,I did'nt use the fanmate that came with them I just hooked them up straight to the power supply with a 3pin to molex and hooked the signal wires up to my motherboard so I could see how fast they spin and they run around 2900rpm,but with my Antec P-180 case they are silent.
