8800 GTX cooler

Wondering what sort of sound levels come from the stock cooler on these? Also what sort of third party coolers are available thats any good (and more importantly too me quiet + easy to fit) id rather sacrifice the ability to OC it if it meant a much reduced sound output. Cheers guys ^

p.s. while i'm at it, whats sort of decent caddy is there for a HDD to dampen the sound? more recommendations please

The stock cooler on the GTX is far from noisy at 100% and allows great OCs. I only changed mine cos of water cooling.

You can also use the Thermalright HR-03-PLUS with a 120mm fan which should be quieter and push a bit more air. I have a Scythe 1600rpm on mine. It dropped my temps by 20-27ºC and cannot be heard with the side panel on.
