Does anyone know if any of the current replacement VGA coolers are suitable for these boards ? none of them list it on their specs but I suspect they are.

The stock cooler on mine is a whiny little so and so and I swear its also blowing hot air over my northbridge heatsink.
 
The round zalman thing fits it. (fitted it to a voltmodded Inno3d version).

Also the card runs very cool as is, sure there's enough airflow in your case?

Its not particularly hot, 44-46 degrees idle, it just makes an irritating noise and the way these are set up the fan draws air up and over the heatsink which blows out towards the front of the case.
 
Most 8600GT's share the same PCB and Mount holes as the 7600GT/GS and 7300GT. Zalman VF900 would be a nice choice.
