I have a 9800SE that can softmod to a 9800pro,
But i am having trouble finding any information on what the best card cooler for this card would be.

I've seen the arctic coolers but have heard they aren't as good as the hype.

Anyone got a good recommendation for me?
 
I haver the Arctic Cooling VGA silencer after it served duty on my now dead 9800pro. I don't know what the hype that you're talking about was exactly, but mine was good. I had oc'd to well over XT speeds on the core (no memory cooling on that model) and it was fine even at the lower fan speed. The card eventually died from my dumb @$$ reaching into the box with my wedding ring on. When it touched some of the circuitry on the back of the card there were some sparks and the card was dead.

With that card, you're probably not looking to break records, so I'd even go so far as to say that stock is probably pretty good, depending on what you are gonna do with it.
 
Not looking to break records, just looking for something to get me by playing bf2 until i can spend some decent money (200+) on a video card.

Just got my opteron 165 installed and wanted to give it a little more graphic power to play with.
You still got your cooler lying around?
