good 3rd-party GPU cooler for 9800xt?

[mushpuppy]

I'd be interested in any/all feedback regarding good 3rd-party GPU coolers for ATI 9800xt video cards.

I figure that Doom3 will make this a common question shortly.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You can also look at the Zalman heatpipe cooler and the Thermaltake Giant heatpipe thingy (just unplug the stupid little fan on it).

Problem is that Arctic says its Silencer isn't compatible with the 9800xt.

Supposedly Arctic has a Silencer in development for the 9800xt, but it's not out yet.

Does the VGA Silencer fit this card?
Thanks.

mush puppy said that it didn't fit the card.

I have the thermaltake Giant IV on my 9800pro and the heatsink is acctully cooler than the rest of my case. I screwed in an 80 mm fan insted of the loud annoying little one.
