Hmmm, my 9800Pro gets pretty warm after running games for a while. I already ordered some ram sinks for the memory, but now am looking for an upgraded GPU sink. I would like something that fits as-is without too much hacking away at a heatsink. I've been to several sites that sell heatsinks, but none that I have looked at specifically say which heatsink will fit on this card. Any ideas?
I would rather not add another fan blowing on the heatsink (aside from the one on the GPU of course), even though that would probably be the easiest solution. The noise would be unacceptable.
I'll bet the card will run fine with the stock HSF, but I really hate that much heat on an electrical component! I don't even plan to O/C it at all; I've already tried it and the extra 10fps weren't worth the chances for damage. I just want a cooler card.
