cooling a 9800 pro

Well, as we all know, the stock cooling with the radeon 9800 pro is about as useful as a jpg to Hellen Keller, so I'm looking for a new cooling solution. Right now, the two that I am looking at the most are the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer Rev 3 (http://www.xoxide.com/vgasilencer1.html) and the Zalman ZM80D-HP (http://www.xoxide.com/zm80d.html) Which one of these would you all recommend? Or would you recommend something else? I'm trying to go for something fairly quiet, but I still want to oc my 9800. Thanks.

Or unless you want to OC the card or be extra sure the cooling is sufficient for long-term use at stock speeds which many are not. I would go with the Arctic, but the Zalman is decent, just be prepared to spend a good amount of time installing this one as well as purchasing the the ZM-OP1 fan required to use on a 9800 Pro.

Here is a review of the Arctic Cooling solution

Both seem to work pretty well, good luck with either!
