As per thread title,

My Sapphire 256mb X1950XT is driving me nuts. It's the noisest component in my rig and it ramps the speed up when I open FireFox for example :confused:

Also my idle temps are 60 degrees which isn't good and it's at 81 on full load!

Now the contenders are below:

Zalman VF900-CU LED Quiet Dual Heatpipe with Blue LED - £24
Accelero X2 - £16
Sytrin KuFormula VF1 (Not sure the fan would fit in my wavemaster? Anyone?) - £22

Leaning towards the VF900 atm, has lots of positive reviews, also I'm ordering from a shop that has it in stock, so would save on shipping.

Open to suggestions/opinions/thoughts of these or any other coolers around this budget.

Thanks :)

Nah thats the heat sink size ;)
I know :o :p

It's just the wavemaster is really tight on space. I'm suprised at OcUK's shipping charge, expected it to be a lot more :)

From my understanding this card is for 92mm, do you have to hack it to get a 120mm one on?
