Hey guys, I recently picked up a GTX 770 Windforce and realized i'm not the biggest fan of the heatsink. Here's a picture of it in my rig,

And yes the back case fan has stopped spinning, I need to swap it out.

But what I'm really curious about is if I can put the stock heat sink back on the 770, This one here.

Is this possible? Where can I buy a factory heat sink? And seeing as the card comes overclocked, How badly would it effect my temps?
 
Solution
The reference cooler may not mount correctly based on the PCB layout of the windforce card, however, even if it did work the reference cooler would increase temps by a measurable amount.
Is there any reason why you dont like the windforce cooler?
