Hello,
I have been looking at getting a new graphics card and was originally looking at the eVGA 7600GT CO and KO. By the way, what is the difference between CO and KO, and which is better?
Then I found out that the eVGA was having some overheating issues so I began looking at some VGA coolers for about $25.
From there I was thinking if I went to another brand such as XFX or PNY, that the overheating may not happen.
Would you guys suggest getting an eVGA with a 3rd party heatsink (or have you guys had great success with the stock cooler?) or should I get an XFX or PNY 7600gt?
I am assuming that the XFX and PNY don't have as bad of overheating problems from the customer reviews. Which brand is best, eVGA, XFX, or PNY?
What is you guys advice to this dilemma? What would you do? Other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks guys.

Which of these do you think are best? Best brand? Best cooling? How do you guys feel about Leadtek? I have gotten some recommendations on that brand.
Thanks guys
Feel free to make other brand suggestions also.
