Looking for a cooler for my graphic card

Got a Gainward Geforce 6800GT GS AGP.

As owners of Gainward's GS cards will know, these come with RAM copper sinks, and 2x non-standard fans which are mounted on a 'bracket' which is then screwed on the card.

At Desktop, with fan speed at 55%, my temperatures are: CPU 48.250c, PCB 33.125c. Pretty decent if you ask me.

The fans are like hurricanes when they are at 100%. IIRC, 3D temperatures for the CPU hit 57c - nothing to cause me concern.

The problem is, the fans are getting rattly so I'm looking for a replacement soloution.

So I want a cooler which can cool the card down to the same temperatures as my current stock cooler. If I get lower temperatures, that's a bonus in my eyes.

Noise isn't too much of an issue - I've been hardened-up by the stock cooler. :D It'd be nice to have something quieter or of the same noise level - any louder, and I'll be humming and harring.

Not going to set a budget for the cooler. As long it's reasonable for the price, I don't mind. If there are any better which OcUK don't stock, name the item but (obviously) not the store.

Cheers! :D
 
Did it lower the temperatures further?
Can you adjust the fan speed from Windows?
Did you have to remove the RAM sinks?

So many questions, lol. :o

The VF9000 looks good, but was wondering if there was much between the 7000 and the 9000.
