your card cooler sucks air out??? i'm asuming that you have it installed in the pci card slot area, and unless you leave your case open, this means it's fully enclosed i the case... in which case, the best perfomane you can get out of the cooler would be to shoot air towards your pci cards... = )

If you're talking about the ones that fit in a AGP/PCI/ISA slot, then yes, but those fans aren't that great. I had one die on me just last week. It was only 3 months old, and it didn't move a whole lot of air in the first place. It also tended to vibrate between my videocard and soundcard, which got pretty annoying, and I had it screwed down pretty tightly. I wish there was a better solution for moving that hot air away from your videocard, I guess cutting a blowhole is about the only way to do it. Although, if you're not overclocking your card I wouldn't really see that hot air as much of a problem, as these cards should be made to hold up under the amount of heat they create. Unless of course it's made by Guillemot. :) I won't get into my story with them.
