the fan on the 7950 core is a stock fan, and thus getting a stock sapphire fan won't do anything. It would be better to get a DualX cooling system or a 7950 with two fans. The only 7950 with one fan that I would recommend is the HIS 7950 IceQ, which beats alot of coolers on the market when the boost bios is flashed to 7970 and then you downvolt. If you don't plan to change the bios, its not really worth it.
