I was looking at the 7790 variants and the gigabyte cooler does not look very good, and the DCII and the Dual-X look like the are about the same at cooling performance. Anybody think one will perform better than the other? They are both dual slot btw.

I will be overclocking as much as possible with the stock cooler. Do you think they will be roughly the same? If they are I have to decide which one I think looks better.

I would go for the Asus DCII cooler because it offers great performance and the aesthetics are great.

The 2GB 7850 is ten dollars more so I will go for that.
