My GALAXY 9800 GT's fan some how gave up after a year, and I just noticed that the fan stopped working after countless lockups.

I'm looking for a good replacement from the stocked fan.

I really liked the ZALMAN VF900 back when I had my 8800GT.

Whats good out there right now? Didn't find much on newegg and this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...800gt%20cooler

has some bad reviews on fitting onto 9800GT cards.

Recommendations?

Why don't you just get an Accelero S1? Is cheaper and very efficient. You could even use it passive.

I agree. I have an Accelero S1 rev 2 on my HD4890 and it works great (it was a ball-ache to install, but that wasn't the fault of the cooler). I have a quiet fan blowing on it, but you could probably go passive with a 9800GT. The cooler you linked to looks way overkill for your purpose.

This would work great:

The one I have on my HD4890 is this one:
