im looking for some extra graphics cooling, anyone know of any good coolers that go in the expansion slots aside this one?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SY-002-AN

are there any that blow down onto the top of a graphics card instead of blowing up? as in my case it would just be blowing against a bit of plastic which is no help at all.

i dont want to remove the stock cooling cos im scared:p

thanks
 
Zalman do something that screws into a spare slot on the back of the case and has a 120mm fan that you can adjust to wherever you need it.

Hmmmmm cannot remember where I saw it. Will have a look and get back to you.

Edit: Here they are. You can check them out here. I think they sell them on the bay. ;)

Found it really easy to swap the cooler on a Zotac 8800GT for an Arctic Cooler Accelero 1.

First time at anything like this and was very concerned I'd b...s it up.

Which I found helped a lot .( I believe there are a few threads on this site dealing with similar thing)

Dropped temps a lot and nice and quiet.

Did add the turbo fan and Vrm coolers 'just in case' and never any problems.

Now have a cool & quiet 8800Gt with a spare cooler.

Would very strongly recomend such - like most was amazed at difference :D

N.B Took me best part of an afternoon BUT was determined to do it slowly, clean all the gunk of and ensure that once together bits would not fall off.
 
edgey the coolers you have listed are extremly noisy as i had one of them

you have a slider to control the speed of the fans but even on the lowest setting they are still really really noisey just to warn you
