If I was Nik, I'd have to substitute the "😛" with some kinda of explitive, or demeaning remark 😛

Use one of those zalman heatpipe jobbies. I have one with my O/C'ed 9800pro and it seems great. I have the optional fan mounted, also.

I have a card in the slot next to my AGP. I grabbed some pics for you:

With optional fan
A view from above
And here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head for reference.

Hope this helps.

FYI the model is the ZM80C-HP

do u know if it is less than 1cm from top of hte card na d less than 2 cm from the face tho?

 

[mwmorph]

you mean 1cm talll and 2cm wide? no. not nothing will be big enough to cool it.

 

[mercanucaribe]

Why don't you use the stock heatsink?

 

[cirthix]

if you need a temporary solution... dont use the side of the case 😀

Funny... I have an AIW 9800 Pro in my Shuttle, and it fit just fine. What's so special about this card?

 

[Goosemaster]

Drill a hole in the case damnit

<---did that with his sn41gv2

my x800xl runs fine with stock cooling

 

[triska]

im not sure
my card just keeps freezing each time i try to go use high def apps
so i thot it ewas my ram at first (for CS:S)
then i found out my hardware capabilities were slowing down
and my card was getting really hot
and this stock cooling sucks
and i just realized my eq3801 has even less space
but i need cooling bad as i nwant to game!!!
arg
what to do...
