I'd like my computer to be quieter. A lot quieter. I have this dust problem in my house and so the tiny little fins on the inlet for the heatsink for my video card get clogged up fast, and so the fan spins faster, and it's loud.
I know nothing about aftermarket cooling for video cards. What's the "big typhoon" of the video card cooling market nowadays?

no, im not rich enough to even buy the card, let alone a computer good enough to put it in. You might also look at zalman's coolers, they are supposed to be pretty good too. I'm not sure if that cooler is affected, but I have heard from some people that some of the later AC coolers blow the air down into the motherboard instead of out the back. My friend had one of the older ones on his fx card, and it was as good as you'd expect from a cooler, it wasn't noisy, and it did the job.
So if Zalman is making anything compatible for your card, I would consider it.
