I wanted to buy Vapor X 7970 ghz edition, thought it was gonna take a while (a month or so) to restock, so bought HIS IceQ X2 7970 ghz. Then voila, it pops back out a couple days later. I hate my itchy trigger finger...

Is Vapor X better than IceQ X2, or are they just more popular? They both have good cooling ability and are considerably quiet than stock.

I'm thinking of returning IceQ X2, but NewEgg restocking fee is out of this world (20%, I think), but if the difference is profound, I will have to sell it on Craigslist or something.

Overclockability, Noise, Performance are important to me (no particular order). All user experiences are welcome, but some stat would be nice, too (I had a hard time finding them).
 
Solution
Not worth it, you won't see a boost in performance, both are 7970 ghz edition cards, the HIS card is also a good one.
