Silent cooling options for Radeon 8500DV??

[puck]

I don't know if the 8500DV is different that the regular 8500 series, but mine does not have holes in the board to mount heatsinks like the Zalman heatpipe series. Does anyone have any suggestions for a VGA cooler that does not require mounting holes and is quieter than 20db, and will properly cool a Radeon 8500 core?

Depending on heat and airflow in the case the 8500 core does not require a fan. I used a "586" surplus HS on one with thermal paste and a few small dabs of super glue on the corners. The original was removed with the freezer/CC/screwdriver trick and the core was cleaned with isopropyl "rubbing" alcohol.
