But i've got a huge fear.....
like i said,i've got a ASUS nVidia EN7900GT..this EXACT model: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=6&l3=269&l4=0&model=1064&modelmenu=1
i've got a HUGE fear of losing warranty of the gfx card AND to make the card unstable or anything...or even break it!!..
What tower fan would you recommend me anyways?..or wich 1 u have?

wow the fan on that thing is pitiful. I'd email them asking if it'd void the warranty on putting a better heatsink on it. I think EVGA (correct me if im wrong) doesn't care if you do or not. But it's usually a pretty simple install so you shouldn't break anything unless your a down right idiot lol. As far as making it unstable, if anything you'll make it better. Just make sure you use a tiny bit of arctic silver in place of whatever crap they got on there. You should see quite the bit of improvement.
Zalman is notorious for making some of the best heatsinks ever so you dun have to worry about not seeing results. Though the one he posted is damn good.

Those PCI coolers are normally pretty useless and can disturb the air flow through the case (personal opinion)
as for the 80mm case fan I'm prob just a zalman smut but

Tried a pci system cooler from titan (i don't remember exactly the model, already thrown from the window) ... useless.
Tried a pci vga cooler from antec ... i got it broken in my hands while i was mounting it ... i used a lot of care in the operation but it incredibly broke ... no comment.
Tried the scythe system cooler, this one is nice, keeping it, provides some more fresh air to the system.
After my last experiences i agree with you ... pci coolers are probably really a waste of everything, time and money, and offer very poor results.
There are only 10 kinds of people : those that understand binaries and those that don't.
