Slot fan for 6600GT?

So I got a replacement Gigabyte 6600GT (previous one had extremely high core temps) and this time around I want to keep it very cool. This particular model of 6600GT has a giant piped pair of HS, but no HSF.

Looking for recommendations on a slot fan, since I don't have a door-mounted case fan that blows into the PCI-E area, and I don't want a Zalman or similar that requires me to disassemble the extant HS (card is under warranty!)

Thanks,

they're around. newegg will be the easiest place to find them but nearly everyoine carries them and some at better pricing.

the only one i used and will probably get again is the dynatron. i think its about $5. but a bunch are the same and just branded by different makers. theres another i may get which has 2 fans, maybe its 3 so i can get some multi directional action going.

if noise is important to you you'll want to hook them up to a fan controller though. most are fairly loud.
 
I have the Gigabyte 6800 heatpipe model and adding a slot cooler 2 slots below it did drop the temp 10+ degrees C in gaming (didn't make any real difference in 2D).

The no-name cooler I had in my parts bin wouldn't fit in the PCI slot directly below the 6800, but maybe some other model would.

Newegg sells several different models, $5 and up.
