Quiet graphics card cooling

[gropingmantis]

Can someone please recommend me a good quiet graphics card cooler
I have a HIS HD 5770 IceQ 5 Turbo and the noise from the stock fan is driving me insane. Even running at 30% the noise from the fan drowns out the incessant buzzing from the H50 pump.

I have considered water-cooling but I only have room for 1x120mm rad (mATX build) so I'm not sure cooling the CPU and GPU on a single rad is a great idea (If I were to do water-cooling I would get rid of the H50).

Ideas anyone?

The ZALMAN VF1000 2 Ball VGA Cooler is rated at 18dba (really quite quiet) don't know if it will fit your card though. But the ZALMAN range tend to be good quiet coolers.

Are you sure you couldnt mount rads outside of your case? The arctic coolong range is amazing but i think they cater for high end graphics. Zalman is probably your best bet. Why dont you try getting one of thise dual bay pcie coolers for £20 or so. I think akasa and lian li do them. Check ocuk

The VF1000 doesn't seem to be compatible with the 5770 sadly.

Yes I've looked at those dual bay coolers but they wont fit in my mATX case.

Actually that's a good point cleeecooo I think ive seen people mounting 240mm rads on top of the top fans on the NZXT Vulcan...could be a plan...Looks silly but it could well work.
