8500 GT Cooler replacement

[CodeThief]

Hi all,

I have an 8500 GT in my HTPC with the stock cooler still attached. It was never the quietest thing but now the bearing is going on the fan (within a few months of purchase!) I want to replace the cooler with something else.

I bought an Accelero S2 and it fitted the card great, unfortunately the top wouldn't go back on the case afterwards as the heatsink is so high!

Anyone got any ideas as to another quiet / silent cooling solution for the 8500GT?

Something along the lines of a Zalman VF700 or Zerotherm 700 series would do nicely. You will have to check for compatiability though. VF900 would be way overkill for a 8500.
