    nvidia gtx 560 fan replacement

    My Zotax gtx 560 fan is driving me crazy! So I'm looking for a replacement to improve the cooling and noise. I've been looking at some Arctic Cooling because of positive experiences with those, but are there any other fans worth looking at? My priorities is as silent as can be! Thanks in advance

    new fan on powercolor x1950pro

    the included arctic cooling accelero x2 fan sucks, its noisy, alot more noisy than the zalman i had on my 850xt-pe - and since the x1950pro uses less electricity i would also think that it would be easier to cool however, my concern is, the original fan cools down the memory blocks on the...
