help 9800 xt overheats

[philg]

i have a saphire 9800 xt graphics card and the other day i got artifacts playing cs,so i decided to give it a good clean and after putting the graphics card back togeather i over tightened one of the screws(with spring on) and it snapped,i noticed oc dont have the artic coolers in stock for my card and was just wondering if it would work now after snapping the pin.i was looking at the Vantec Iceberq 5 Premium VGA Cooling Kit (HS-003-VA)
and as im a noob at comps was just wondering if this would do the job,also do oc do a fitting service as i dont trust myself again....i know its a cooling problem but dare not fit anything again a snapping pin...Please help

I'd go for the Zalman VF700Cu - it's a very nice cooler and I've recently fitted one to my X800Pro graphics card

I've uploaded a few pics when I fitted it to my X800Pro (all 800x600 and less than 200kb)

nope there is usually a screen capture button for most games, otherwise there a programs like fraps where you can take screenshots of games
