Who else makes VGA coolers? For a Radeon 9600XT

[Steve]

I've won a 9600XT for Mac on eBay which explicity states it needs a new cooler. I've found the Vantec IceBerq 5 (CCB-A5C) as a decent candidate, and am looking for alternatives.

Please keep them small, cheap & quiet. Simple stuff here, nothing fancy. Under $20, it just needs to get the job done.

Man......9600XT, brings back memories of my first times overclocking. I remember putting that huge Zalman passive cooler on mine and it worked great.

Nice, but I don't think my client's Mac (a G4 FW800) has much airflow inside, So I may have to go with something fanned.

This is what I had but mine wasn't blue.

 

[Steve]

For what it's worth, it looks like the stock heatsink is on there so it may just need a fan. Any suggestions?

wow so many memories of my good ole' XT. i slapped this thing on it back in the day. Cooled it awesomely. but i would recommend getting one of the various Zalman fanned coolers. they are amazing for the price.

will that work?

 

[Steve]

Not bad, now to find a place that sells it...

The Zalman 700 series should fit. It also is a very good quality cooler, and can cool that card at the minimum fan speed.

That may be a good one. According to Zalman's website that one is incompatible with a couple of 9600XTs due to capacitor placement:

Hopefully this card doesn't have that problem, I am waiting for it to arrive.
