I've been wondering, b/c of my video card, GeForce 6800 GT Ultra OC w/ the AC Silencer NV5

The video card over hangs over the chipset fan.

there's barely any room between the top of the fan housing and teh PCB board on the video card.

but i've been wondering if there are any chipset/vga upgradeable fans that can be placed there and still clear?

I was wondering if one of these will work, or if there are any better ones out there.

Now, i know these are VGA cooler replacements but can i use one of thse on my motherboard?

Thanks guys.
 
I'll be waiting to hear what you settle on. I noticed this as well when I first set up my board, as I'm sure many others did. The stock heatsink seems to be doing its job but it just seems so weak... not much metal to it. I'd like to replace it.

One option would be to get a large/tall heatsink for it and chopping fins off where it would touch the card/NV5
