Currently running a OCUK unbranded 560 GTX in my HTPC (it's a Gainward custome respin of a 460 I think). It's quick enough for my gaming needs, but it gets really really loud when playing stuff.

My old PC used to have a 4890 Vapor-X which was consistently quiet, but the NVIDIA is playing nicely with Virtu so leaning towards that.

It's I guess a nonstandard custom PCB so an aftermarket cooler may not be an option. The case is a FT03, so airflow is okay (just okay) - but probably something that exhausts is better.

Thinking a Gainward Phantom. Any better options?
