Low profile video card coolers

[avi85]

What is the best video card cooler which will still allow me to use the pci slot right below the video card

Edit: this is gonna be for a 7600gt or gs

VF-900, but u might not be able to because of the heatpipe.

according to zalman's site the vf900 will block the pci slot below the video card

it will block the adjacent slot. but the one after that is perfectly useable. (unlike my Arctic Cooling VGA Silence, which practically block PCI 2 slots)

Im running an Evga 7600GS in my HTPC with the K8NGM2-FID. It has a passive cooler on it. Its in a really cramped case without alot of airflow and it stays cool enough. If you dont like that idea, and you dont care about the pci-e slot above the x16 slot, you can try the Thermalright V-1 ultra. Im not positive that it will allow you to use the pci slot below the video card though.

I don't think any of the aftermarket vga coolers don't obstruct the adjacent slot... if they don't, i'd question their cooling ability though.
