A few months ago I bought this video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814135164 and I want to replace its heatsink/fan with a quieter one that will hopefully last longer than the stock one. I've had bad experiences with VGA coolers in the past (one died on me, and when I bought a replacement it didn't fit) so I figured I'd ask around before buying one this time. So, does anyone know what cooling solutions will fit that particular card?

As far as I can tell, all the Zalman VGA Cooling products are pretty much unusable on that card.

Kinda tricky because the 6200/6600 series cards in AGP flavor have a slightly differing layout due to the bridge chip. Still, most coolers will mount on the holes around the cooler. You can try a one-size-fits-all type cooler. SVC.com has the Coolermaster CoolViva for around $5.50 on sale. It is a sandwich type (front/back), with large heatsinks and a heatpipe. It also comes with a supposedly quiet fan that can be attached to the heatsink. Manufacturer claims it fits on all modern cards.
