Well if it helps, i found the Giant 2 to be better than the zalman 80c on my 9800 pro. i've been using at stock speeds of 380/680 fine since september with the puny 40mm fan on (which is dead silent). I can only assume the dual heatpipes helps the giant 2 more than my single heatpipe.
I would go for Giant 3, and leave fans unplugged or at slowest settings...
