Looking for suggestions on great air cooling for a 9600 pro. is the vantec ICEBERQ4 a good one? Are there any "total" solutions simmilar to the Tt GF4 Cooler? (includes all Ramsinks and GPU HSF).
 
I'm interested too. This reply is so I can get e-mail notification.

That rinky dink little heatsink and fan completely caught me by surprise. I expected something more serious when I bought this card. Even the GF4 Ti4200 with it's cheap little aluminum thing at least had a better fan and the HS was a little larger.
 
From what I know, the 9600 series runs pretty cold, and is low power...

A friend of mine, with a Pro, had the fan die on him, so he bought an Iceberq, and now gets 8000+ on 3dmark03

Geez, I'm tired, I need to stop using so many commas,
 
I like the ICEBERQ4 I know the .13 process makes this card a cool runner, but I want to overclock it to over XT speeds, so I will grab that ICEBERQ4 and see what damage I can do with it. I had a blueorb on my ti4200 (came that way stock from BFG) and it worked out very well, could get over 300/600 OC (I had aluminum ramsinks) but the fan in the blueorb started moaning... I think I will try the vantec. Supposedly you can get ~700 on the DDR without ramsinks. If I can get 500/700 I will be very happy.
