Hi people, i have these two options:
Top image and Bottom image of my cooling options.
The vantec has the advantage of being made in cooper, but the stock is larger and has bigger cooler.
Of course im gonna use artic silver. Its for a "slow edition" 9700 Pro (128 bits and 4ns memory).

Thanks in advance.

I'd use the original black Ati cooler because it's much bigger, so there's more surface area to dissipate the heat. That little copper cooler looks cheap, like it could barely cool a NF4 chipset, nevermind a graphics card.

indeed, i used that little vantec cooler (the cooper one) for a chipset, but then i used it for a 9550 and it worked fine, much better than the passive cooling it had.
Wel, i think im gonna put the artic silver on the stock one...
