It is indeed a X800XT ViVo and the cooler is designed for all X800 cards.
I designed that cooler for commercial purposes, so i am sorry i am not allowed to give you the cadfiles.
I have no solidworks models for that either, because i don't use solidworks. I use some sort of CAD and Hardcoding CAM mixture to make my cncfiles. i start from 2-dimensional CAD and do all the CAM directly myself and mill it subsequently on my cnc. You couldn't use my CAD/CAM files with any common CAD programm.

But the x800 is a pretty easy layout. if you can't handle a caliper and measure it, what is a thing of 10 minutes, i wouldn't recommend you to build a x800cooler from scratch. that is much more difficult and costly than you might think, especially when you don't have a cncmill on your own.
