Extra cooling on a video card that doesn't void warranty

Are there any cooling options one could buy that doesn't require one removing the current HSF? This would be for an X800 Pro. I just bought one and I want to add extra cooling, but the thought of ripping off the current mechanism to add another makes me nervous. Is adding a slot fan next to the card a good idea? If its an exhaust would it take air flow away from the card? Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should buy?

Nope. :p Unfotunately anything you do to it will void the warranty. :(

This wouldve been ok since it comes like that stock. :)

Why do you want extra cooling?

If you are going to void your warranty by overclocking the card, you might as well void it by changing the cooler. :D

Yep!

You can always get some fans on a pci card to shove in your case.
