heatsink

[bryanf445]

i might want to replace my heatsink for my msi 9800 pro, does anyone know of any nice ones? but the only problem is that i have a vantec fac card under it, and it is nearly touching it..so are there any nice heatsinks that arent any bigger (hight wise) then the stock heatsink?

The VGA silencer is much better than any other heatsink/fan solution for your graphics card. You won't need to use a noisy slot fan with the VGA silencer.

If you buy a new heatsink, you won't need that PCI blower. And PCi blowers tend to suck big time too.

hmm mine seems to keep my card pretty cool, but do you happen to know if the heat sink is alot larger the the stock one?

Slot card fans are bad. They actually stress the video card fan on the heat sink because it has trouble getting enough air which causes the fan on the video card to fail much earlier than it normally would.

You will not need it with the Artic Cooling. The artic cooling is a large heatsink. It is simply the best air cooling heatsink available. You will not need a slot fan.
