comparing those 2 :Originally Posted by Scyphe
Just made another attempt. After booting back into windows at stock settings and starting the 3d cube in ATITool (stock clocks) it acted weird (windows flickered etc). Something just isn't working right.
Guess: the ASUS EN8800GT's that have those cheap zalman-lookalike fans on them aren't built on 8800-boards but on 79xx-series boards. I noticed this when I installed the VF1000Cu, I had to use the 7900-holes to fit the VF1000 on it.
So whatever you do, DO NOT get one of those ASUS EN8800GT that have a cheap look-a-like fan on the GPU instead of the stock nvidia full-board one, you'll get a 7900-board with a G92-chip on it.
I guess if I want to do a proper volt-mod I need to check out 7900-voltmodding.

you can see that the "new" asus has a refrence design just like any other 8800GT so you're talking in the air here...(also the mounting holes are exactly the same as in a normal 8800GT and NOT a 7900GT) i think its a very good card and some reviews in the net says that this cooler is way better than the stock one.. guess asus whouldn't change the stock cooler if it was better...
btw :
thats the refrence 7900GT PCB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowIm...XPB+Video+Card
