Hey im looking at replacing the cooler on my 6800 GS in an attempt to reduce temps, what do people recomend?

currently im looking at these two,

Artic Cooling Accelero X1 Cooler (6800/7800 Series)
Zalman VF900-CU Quiet Copper VGA Cooler

should there be anything other to concider, and which one would provide better temps of these two if there isn't?

Thanks in advance!

AC will do excellent!

I had the AC now I use the Zalman, find it quieter and much easier to maintain (cleaning off dust etc).

"Cheap & Decent enough" vs "Expensive & Quality"

I don't think the resulting GPU temps are that much different....

I bought the arctic cooler in the end, i didn't realise quite how big it was.

Temperature wise, it's all i could ever have hoped for, an amazing improvement over the stock cooler. I'd reccomend it to anyone.

Thanks for the help guys.
