what is a good, quiet chipset cooler I can buy for my Ultra-D?? cuz the stock one is so noisy, i can even hear it even though all my fans are on. I was looking at the thermaltake crystal orb but i read that the documented noise was wrong or something. any opinions?? thanks

I forgot to mention, since i have the AC ATI silencer, something like that Zalman would not fit. i was looking for somethinglike the crystal orb or something, but the reviews didnt convince me. i got too little space for that kind of cooler, its too tall. tho it seems promising...anyone??

really the zalman is a good way to go. I use them in all my boxes. There is a zalman that's a little shorter Text, yet still passive.
There is also a CoolerMaster that's pretty much the same Text, or the slightly more expensive Thermalright nb-1 Text that can be used passive or active, with a nice quiet fan.

again, i dont have that much space cuz the Vid Card and AC silencer limit me on space (vid card is probably 1mm away from the chipset HSF)...i had no other choice
