    arctic cooling at the moment make the best vga coolers,I have one for my 6800gt and keeps the card over 10 degrees cooler and is almost inaudible,a far cry from the squeeling stock fan,it also blows the warm air from the vid card straight out the back of the case,keeping other components cooler :)

    you have to buy the one specific for your vid card,which is an 800xt I think,top one on this page

    Well the list was in no paticular order (i just looked through my favs list to find all the sites that sold good coolers).

    As for Arctic Cooling, what i meant to say was, ive never heard of the brand before,(until you mentioned it) and i won't comment on them since ive never used them.

    Lol I thought something was off :eek: . We have a viao in our office.... Im going to build a custom when we get rid of it (or actually ill take their viao and use it for folding or LANing....

    Good luck to ya with your new coolers! Oh and just to let you know you might consider peeking into water cooling like thermaltakes Bigwater or Bigwater SE kits...
