9600XT VGA Cooler

I have a Sapphire 9600XT 128mb card. I purchased it, and the card comes with only one very small fan, which worries me. I'm an avid gamer, and was considering overclocking my card, but don't want to do it with such a small fan.

My card:

From the pictures you can tell that it doesn't have the heatsink mounting holes, which lowers my choices even more. If anybody has any suggestions for a VGA cooler to use with my card, please tell me.

-Thanks
 
i wouldnt worry about it, the HSF, although small, will suffice in getting the job done as the 9600XT produces very little heat

you might want to look into the vantec iceberq 4 is you are hell bent in getting an aftermarket cooler
 
Rather than doing that, save yourself some time and money. Buy some case fans that run for about 2 bucks each, put them in your case blowing on your heatsink (solves your tiny fan problem) and put some ram sinks on your ram for mabye 10 bucks. I have my 9600XT maxed out for overclocking,and with 2 fans blowing on them (on on the side, one from front to back to act like an exaust) and memory sinks, i keep it very cool for very cheap. Or, if you want to still spend money, then throw out the 9600xt and get a 9800pro that you don't have to over clock.
 
Hmm, I was looking at those little micro RAM heatsinks. I think that would probably be a good way to go, thanks for the suggestion, I'll check those out.
