Currently using the sapphire x600xt but I recently had to replace the fan so i purchased an Artic Cooling ATi silencer, which i fitted to the graphics card no problem but due to the location of my northbridge it could not fit back into my motherboard, so to get by I butchered the AC silencer removing the fan and just using the heatsink, but i'm now struggling to keep the GPU below 55C and have to keep the case fans turned up which is noisey.

So I have been looking for other VGA coolers like the Zalman VF700 but it looks like that wont fit either as they show issues with certain X600 XT's.

So just wondering if anyone can help me find a suitable cooling method.

My mobo is the foxconn NF4UK-8AA.
 
55C idle with my case fans up half way, if i have case fans turned right down where i used to have em it raises to 60C. Haven't tried it under load yet, I dont use PC for gaming just some video rendering which would load it the most I suppose.
I dont plan to overclock the GPU would just like it to be cool and quiet.
