    No. With a barton HSF, my 9700 Pro runs lukewarm at most.

    Probably the thermaltake.

    either one should be fine really... they're both massively overkill ;p

    Yeah, but the AMD coolers with copper slugs have the copper screwed down (at least on all the ones I've seen). In that case, it'd be safer for the card to use the Thermaltake.
