check the compatability, but I would go with an artic-cooling vga silencer.

lol, he just has a 9000 , they dont run very hot at all, if yours has mounting holes just get a small orb type cooler. or you can just epoxy one on.

Unless you're overclocking the card just get the cheapest thing you can.

and by a few more bucks u mean 180 dollars dont really need to upgrade my video card since im in the process of ordering parts for a new comp and also that would sorta be a waste on my computer since i only have a 1.5 ghz anyway

The fan on my Radeon 8500 AIW started making noise. Unlike the one on the AIW 7500, this fan screws into the heatsink and isn't directly glued on.

I attached a socket 370 fan having it suck air away from the heatsink instead of blowing on it. With powerstip, I can now run the card at 299mhz instead of the default 275.
