Hi guys

As you may have guessed from the topic, I have an A400TDH (GeForce 6800 NU). ;)

For some reason, I can't seem to overclock it much beyond 360/770 before it heats up too much, and becomes unstable (more often than not, causing my system to lock up). Of course, I'm then left with nothing to do but hard-reset my system.

The stock cooling that comes with the card is fine if you only ever intend to run it at stock speeds.

As far as aftermarket cooling goes, I would prefer an air-cooling system, but don't know which of the variety of ones available would actually fit my card (and then still be able to fit on my mobo [Gigabyte K8NS], without bumping into my XP-90...)

Can anyone suggest anything?

the NV5, usually found at newegg for around $20-30. A nice thing out it that it pushes the warm air out of the back!

The NV5 silencer looks like an awesome GPU cooler, but will it fit a standard GeForce 6800 card? I notice that it's only officially for the GT's and Ultra's...

This could also be that some of the 6800s do not clock as well as others. Just keep that in mind too.
