Hi, i've just got a GTX460 with the reference cooler attached. This thing is quite loud as opposed to my zalman but it is big. I'm wondering if I can just put my Zalman on the card and that'll provide adequate cooling or even better performance? The Zalmans currently attached onto my old 8800GT but it can be easily taken it off.
 
I don't have experience with the zalman, but i really do think it will be a HUGE improvement - that's what a good aftermarket cooler is for. Just remember your warranty
 
Warranty doesn't bother me i've fitted these a lot I won't do damage. Just the VF900 is really old not sure if it's still upto the job or not.
 
It's a sparkle. Just had a look and I can't do it anyways the GPU chip itself has got a lot bigger on these new cards!

What aftermarket coolers are available for this card?

Yeah lol but I doubt the question will get answered unless I ask the specific question in the title. None of them have compatibility Cleeecooo
