Hiya everyone...so Ive finally given up on my temp problem with my Gigabyte GeForce6800GT. Lately it's been getting into the 100's now and thats just it lol Ive had it with this bloody funky heatsink of theirs (The fan is on the back of the card and there are some heatpipes on the gpu that are supposibly transfering heat to a slightly thicker heatsink on the back with the fan...and its just not working....) Sooo of the following which do you guys suggest (note this is all i have avaliable to me at the store closest aside from possibly ordering online which I dont really want to do)

Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 VGA Cooler (Nvidia FX 6800 GT, Ultra)

Zalman VF700-Cu Ultra Quiet Video Card Cooler

Thanks a bunch guys =)

I agree with the neosker article. . .silencer is nice, cool & 'quite.' I am running one currently, and both my GPU temps & case temps plumetted.

Got the silencer

. It works perfectly...my temps dropped so much it's absolutely fab heh. I had to modify my power connecter a little (well not really modify...just pull off the plastic piece that it slides into with a pair of pliers...but other than that it went great)

Thanks for your advice guys, oh and down with the crappy funky heatsink gigabyte makes! lol
