i just noticed this at newegg. any real differences between this and the vc-re besides the extra heatsinks and i think a somewhat different type of mounting? does anyone have this and knows that it fits and cool the same as the vc-re?

It looks the same except for the mounting holes the other ones extend out further check out angrey aaammm happy games tute on the everclear install and you'll see what i mean.

 

those mounting holes look too close (unless they made the sink bigger)

Looks the same but if someone feels like helping out the community and buying/testing it I think we would all be appreciated.

The mounting pins are different and not spaced exactly the same... well, to clarify, they are spaced the same, but on the VC-RE, there is more "play" to work with than on the VC-RF, since the VC-RE has more flexibility in the metal bracket the pins are mounted to.

 

either will work, and we have dfi-streeters running both, but if you want "easy", I'd stick with the VC-RE. The VC-RF has been used as a solution more by those in areas were it's hard to get the VC-RE.... why the availability would be different between the two is somewhat of a mystery, since both come from Evercool.
