Default Best cooler for 2900 Pro?
I have a 2900 Pro on its way. I heard that these run hot. If I decide to get an aftermarket cooler, what should I look at? Everything I see is for nvidia. I assume most will fit anyways, but I don't want to buy it to find out.

The stock cooler is fine until you jack up the voltage.

And even then it's nothing a little increase in fan speed can't handle, it is quite loud though.

TR HR-03 is all the rave right now.

The HR-03 is the best air heatsink. If your 2900pro/XT is oc-ed, the HR-03 will give you more headroom (40MHz for me).

Just look for the R600 version of the HR-03.

Yeah, the heatsink is massive with a fan. Completely takes up 4 slots. Probably can get it down to 3 if you have heatsink on other side.
