Replacing Stock Sli Cooling.

[Fanfail]

Can anyone recommend replacement cooling fans for an sli Msi 6600 GT set up that won't cause me to lose a Pci slot?

The Asus A8n-Sli Deluxe only offers 3cm of room before intruding into the next Pci slot (On No 2) (that's not allowing for the height of the Gpu - approx 2mm)? The only option I have found so far is two Thermaltake V1's but at £60 this is a bit steep!

I'm surely not the only person to have this problem? None of the products that I have found from Zalman, Actic, or any of the main manufacturers are slim enough.

Cheers.

Yes, I have recently knocked up a pair of 6600GTs on my A8N-SLI for a laugh, and I found that same issue too!

On the top slot, Im using Artic cooling, and the bottom slot Im using the stock cooler.

I cannot possibly use the artic cooler as well on the bottom one, as this would only leave me with one PCI slot to use, which is already taken up with my Audio card.

Such a shame because the GPU Temps are 40c on the stock cooler and 24 with the artic, so they do their job nicely.

Anyway... Check out the Zalman coolers. The smaller ones are still many times better than the stock ones and are small enough to only waste one PCI slot.
