I am looking at the Zalman heat pipe coolers and I want to know which one is the best? Is it the black one that can mount the fan(ZM80c-HP)? Or is it the gold one that says it can mount a fan, but I can't find the fan for it anywhere(ZM80A-HP)? Zalman
 
But is it such a huge heatsink, and it has a heatpipe, how can that not be better than the stock on a 9800 pro? Are there any aftermarket heatsinks that are better than a stock on a 9800 pro? Do I have to throw an sk-7 on it with epoxy? That will PERMANENTLY take away all of those PCI slots and permanently mount it on the 9800. I do not trust myself to drill more screw holes into the 9800, and I don't know how to on a heatsink.
 
I don't know cause I've never used them but I've read a lot of other peoples comments that have used them. Search the threads, I've seen quite a bit of talk on them here and at Procooling.
