Looking at what OCUK have to offer and scratching my head a bit.

I want something that comes with a fan, is relatively quiet and will do a descent job cooling my card. I have AS5 so I'll apply that while I'm replacing the stock cooler.

So what do people recommend? The cooler I can get it the better.
 
Could you tell me what temps you are getting on your XT while running with 3D clocks?

I think my Zalman is broken because my card exceeds 70C. Under the stock cooler temps never went above 60C!

I have removed, and reseated my cooler several times and theres never much of an improvement. I have noticed that on the GPU the ATI lettering is slightly raised...surely that is not good for heat transfer. Would sanding that down cause any damage to the chip?
