Gah, at home I have a link to a PCI slot cooler in my favorites, but I have no idea where I found it... Google 'PCI slot cooler' you should be able to find something. Keep in mind that there are different models for different uses, you want one that locates the center of the cooler right under your heatsink on your vidcard.
So are you saying the <a href='http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-186-113&depa=1' target='_blank'>card fan</a> wont work? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> <a href='http://www.xoxide.com/slotcooler2.html' target='_blank'>How about this? (slot cooler)</a>
If you read any fps comparisons on games and such with all video cards. On normal like 1024x768 resolution with some fancy stuff (not uber high though) The 9800 Pro 128 meg will score higher than 256 and the xt. But on the higher quality 6x aa and 16x Antisoptic. The xt will get like 4 more fps

At least with the PCI cooler you can test it before you OC anything)
Does anyone know of or have software that can be used to monitor the heat that the vidcard is running at? If so, does anyone know the safe operating temperatures for vid cards?
