Cooling softmodded 9500
I got a sapphire radeon 9500 (3.3ns ram) a few weeks ago and softmodded it. when i tried to overclock it, it goes to about 285/375 (up from 270/270 mem/gpu) before i start getting artifacts all games run fine except C&C Generals: Zero hour. playing online, the game will just quit, saying "possible hardware overheating" etc when there is alot of action going on on the screen. it doesnt happen at stock speeds. this is the fanI am considereing:

can anyone explain why its crashing? and anyone know if this is a good fan
btw when the game crashes the whole card and especially the ram gets very hot to the touch

Definately a wise idea
The Zalman ZM80C-HP and ZM-OP1 Cooling Fan make for a formidable cooling solution for today's hot-running video cards.
