Best Graphics Cooling System?
In an earlier post I established that my Radeon 9700 Pro card is suffering a commonly reported problem : that of overheating. I'm therefore gonna replace the cooling system. Have found a couple of likely candidates so far: Artic Cooler Silencer 1 and the Zalman Fatality FS-V7. Does anyone have any comments about either of these, or any other suggestions?

Thanks for your time.

Installed a Zalman VF-700Cu last week on a 9800XT. Less than a 15 minute job, highly recommended. The FS-V7 looks similarly constructed, should be a breeze to install.

Hey M8,
I have had a AC" for 3 months now and it is an absolute dream compared to the stock cooler. Before I replaced the stock, my OC was 5%, now I can OC 10% easily, more if I want too

I'd go with the Zalman also, focuses on seperate memory cooling along with cooling the surrounding area and board.

Yeah well USB bracket + ATI Silencer = fail.

Zalman + USB bracket = pass.

Besides, the Zalman looks like a pretty flower.
