PCI Slot Fan

Can anyone recommend a good PCI slot fan. I intend to use it to cool down my 6800gt ram chips.

I take it your case airflow is naff? If so:

Vantec Spectrum Fan Card (FG-004-VA)

My 6800GT @ Ultra has no ramsinks! Just good case airflow!

would http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Akasa.html the last item there be any good?

In a word. No!

My case airflow is cak. I have a VGA fan cooler and some of the ram sinks dont get any airflow over them

Therefore I'd like to just cool gfx card.

The Vantec Spectrum Fan Card looks like it will help a lot. Cheap too!

LoL... bought one of those cheap things ages ago for my old, old PC. Didn't know what it was doing apart from making a noise. Think it was £3 not well spent to be honest.

If cooling is an issue, get yourself a 120mm fan and try using that Zalman bracket to mount it and encourage better airflow.

I will probably do the bracket thing.
