I have just bought an OcUk 9600 GT and I'm finding it very loud. Can anyone recommend a silent cooler (or very quiet) for this card? Which ones fit?

Thanks
 
A guy wrote a review on the page for that graphics card. He got the Palit one like me and said this:

Already reviewed this as Dazza but wanted to add that this card runs brilliantly and yeah the card you get is a palit not the one in the picture which is PNY i think. i removed the stock copper fin/fan cooler and fitted a fanless Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 VGA Cooler the card now runs totally silently and idles at 32 degrees and runs crysis maxed out at 51 degrees, i have a couple of 120mm case fans on a fan controller at lowest speed and you can hardly hear a thing. lovely jubbly.

Sounds good, hopefully it will fit in my case. I have the LianLi PC-A07B, the exhaust is very loud too which i am hoping to control with a small fan control. Will there be enough room/airflow in this case? Anyone with experience on it?
 
I used the Accelero S1 rev 2 on my old 9600GT - worked a treat, ran passive with load temps of 47, idel temps of 34 :)

Only thing is it was huge - taller than the card iteself, and almost as long, and about 4cm deep!
