Are there any good graphics card coolers out for the 2900 as it gets quite hot and id like it a bit cooler.

Thermalright HR-03 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-051-TR

Pricey but excellent!

I had the 8800GTX version and it dropped load temps to below the idle temps of the stock cooler. :eek:

oh my god its the ugliest thing i have ever seen, with the fan off it looks ok but with a fan on it looks like something my dog threw up, and i dont even have a dog, my girlfriend has a Titan Elena cooler for her X1900XT and that looks gorgeous and performs like the card was just put in a freezer, why cant we have something like this- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-007-TI&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=787

Would be nice but i never had good results from tec's. I used a titan amanda with an overclocked e6600 and TBH my scythe ninja did far better and on top of that didn't run up an enormous leccy bill.

I saw one of these tec's on a x1950pro in a review i think and if i remembered correctly it didn't do too well under full load. A 2900 would melt it i'm sure. :eek:

I think the zalman's look quite good and integrate the fan into the design so aren't as 'industrial' looking as the thermalright. Sure i've seen them fitted on a 2900 somewhere but they're not rated as supporting them on the zalman site.
