Arctic coolers
Such choice for a 9800 pro owner:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...c_Cooling.html I'm not interested in o/clocking the card, just keeping fan noise to a minimum. Would one of the cheaper models suffice? Cheers YES Get the cheap Vers. 3 at around 8 quid. Extremely good coolers and quiet too. I dont know how they make them for so little money. I've fitted several to systems and they are really good, especially when used on the 9800 series cards, I've recently fitted one to my newly aquired 6800 GT card (NV5 version) and although its slightly cooler and less noisy than the stock cooler, I think its slightly noisier that the 9800 versions of the cooler.

I put the VGA Silincer rev. 3 on my 9800 Pro, and it works very well. Inaudible and sufficient cooling. Another advantage of the old models is that they are smaller. The new ones can extend an inch or more beyond the back of the card, which can make them collide with hard drives.
