My brothers PC has a Radeon 8500 (64Mb AGP) and was looking at the "other coolers" section, question is which is appropriate for the 8500

Mainly because the stock cooler is getting really noisy and is the the source of most of the noise in the case

Thanks in advance

Not being funny but the better option might be to simply replace the card as it is pretty dated now. Otherwise you could end up spending more on the cooler than the card is actually worth!

You can pickup 9800pros for under £40inc secondhand which would give a massive boost from a r8500. You might even be able to find one with a custom cooler pre-installed.

On the otherhand if gaming isn't important then a you can probably get an old passively cooled card as cheap as chips.
