    Xfx 7900gt 520m Vivo

    Ok I've just ordered up one of these beauties.

    Anyone know what to expect form this card in overclocking terms with the stock fan?

    Is it better to leave the card alone / replace the stock fan with something else (if so what?)

    Never replaced a stock fan on a card like this before so help on how to do this if its not obvious would be good.

    Cheers!

    p.s. something I dont understand from Scan is that the VIVO 520M is cheaper than the non-VIVO. They look the same so this doesnt make any sense? Could someone enlighten me as to the basis of the pricing of these cards?

    I've got one on order at Scan too. I think it's cheaper because its the newer version (hence the blueish PCB).

    Replacing the HSF is as simple as unscrewing 4 screws from the back of the card and disconnecting the fan plug.

    Ace ok thanks - doesnt sound too difficult If I decide to do it.

    Any suggestions around an alternative HSF for this card?
