8800 air cooling options

[sabregen]

Anyone have a line on 8800 air cooling (aside from the Gigabyte one I saw today), as far as aftermarket goes? I hate stock coolers, just wondering if anyone had a line on this stuff. I just got it yesterday, and I already hate the cooler (miss my VF900's).

Please, no watercooling, please.

Thermalright has the HR-03, its massive though.

Can be mounted to the front or back of the card however.

^^ compatibility list for GPUs, 8800 not listed, only 8600 series. Besides, it's godawful ugly.

Sorry.. the "Plus" model.

And you never said it had to be pretty . You said you wanted non-stock, non-water

Zalman has one in the works also, I saw a picture of it from Cebit on Guru3D's website I believe.

hrmm...okay, what the heck is an HSI mount? I couldn't find it, but it said it was required for the GTS.

Well it said mid-March, and as its mid-April now I'm guessing it comes supplied with the HS. Email/Call them to confirm? I'm using stock so dunno whats required, just know its one of, if not the only HS out right now.

sounds like time to do some digging the eVGA stock one is butt ugly (after less than 24 hours of looking at it).
