Well, the title says all. The stock fan on my Powercolor 9800 Pro keeps coming out, so I need a replacement cooler for this thing. I'm a real n00b at this, so can someone please help me?

I need help with the following:

What kind of cooler would be good for a 9800 pro? I don't mine a dual slot solution, I just need something that is sturdy and would be much better than the stock cooler. Something under 30 USD would be really nice too.

How do I go about removing the old HSF? Should I remove any residue left over after removing, and should I buy AS5 for good measure?

Thanks a million in advance for all your help.
 
I recommend a Vantec Iceberg plus a fresh coat of artic silver 3 or 5 on gpu core :D

Would you recommend it over the Arctic Cooling ATi Silencer 1? I was doing a search at frozencpu.com and Silencer 1 seems fit for my needs.
 
i use an artic cooler revision 3. im not sure if they still make it.
 
Well now that I know which one I'm getting, how do I go about removing the old heatsink from the card?

No, Silencers are the greatest coolers, but i missed the " I don't mind a dual slot solution" :(
