I'm looking for a better cooler for my Gainward GF4 Ti4200 128mb video card. I dont think the stock HSF is cutting it. Which ones do you guys recommend? I was looking at the Thermaltake Crystal Orb, is it any good? Will it fit on my Gainward card? Hopefully with a new heatsink and fan, along with AS3 I'll be able to OC the core a bit more.

Any recommendations are welcome.

Not sure what the best is, but the orbs aren't that great.

I agree! slap it on with some Artic Alumina Adhesive and your set! Made a pretty good difference on my card

im pretty sure the cooljag cools the best. newegg has it for around 17 i think. i just bought one for my 8500 and need to cut it before i can install it.
