cooling for a 9600 AIW?

[Darien]

stock fan is loud and gives off an annoying noise.

what's a good replacement?

SVC.com has lots of stuff for cooling VGA cards - replacement fans and passive heat sinks.

When did you buy that card? I bought one about a month ago at BB and it was passively cooled...

I put a crystal orb on my AIW9700pro. Works well and only 26db.

i bought it around december.

looks like arctic cooling rev 3 will support the 9600 aiw...just gotta wait out this noise
