Anyone know of an aftermarket cooler for a 7800GS AGP?

I think I read somewhere that basically there Isn't one because theres a chip in the way on the board which bridges the card from PCI-e to AGP, so if your stock cooler fails you're kind of stuffed! Certainly none of the arctic coolers seem to fit.

Hope someone knows otherwise :)
 
Depends what 7800GS you have, if its the Gainward one with Arctic Cooler pre attached then your not stuffed. You can buy the 6800U AC, remove fan/motor unit and replace the duff one, job done (i know it works as friend managed to break a blade so i DIY fixed for him) :)
 
Been looking for one myself and its not looking good at all!

The TT tidal water was mentioned in a forum as being compatable but not 100% sure. Maybe the new zalman ones due out sonn will fit? Hope so
 
So maybe its looking like if your cooler starts to fail it's an RMA job.

Shame really that Arctic Cooling or others haven't come up with a design which will fit all the 7800 series cards :(
