VGA cooling... depressing

[Quigsby]

Hey folks,

I've been looking around for a better HS/F for my video card, since what I have is a Blue Orb from TT.

FYI, the blue orb pushes 15 CFM @ 26 DB. I thought to myself, hey, fans for cases do a lot better, so maybe I could find something a little better/closer to a 1:1 ratio. I knew that old AMD HSFs are good options, but I was curious what's on the market.

Taking a look into it I found there are very little out there! The Zalman heatsink with optional fan looks like the only viable alternative, other than drilling an old HSF.

Anyone else have an option?

secondly, I am not convinced it fits.

The thread running in this forum on the vga silencer has temped me, however since it states it's for the Radeon leaves me to believe it won't fit.

All of us "other people" have to find alternative methods for air cooling.

i think the zalman with a fan on the side should do very well also tho
