Default I'm thinking about getting this...
Hey dudes, I am thinking about getting this VGA cooler.
http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16835186110

Is it any good? I

How easy is it to install? I currently have an oc of 570/320(stock: 500/300) on my 9600xt. If I can this, can I maybe go 600/350?

Also, most inmportant, will this work on my Sapphire Radeon 9600XT?

Or, should I get this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835110107

Get the Arcic Silencer. Much better IMO, and it takes up 1 slot below your Graffics card as well.

In almost all cases, one slow below. Watch the spelling.

It will take you about 15 minutes to install. I don't like the fact that you have to buy ram cooling separately though. One good pro is that it blows hot air out a slot and not around in your case. It didn't add much to overclockability at all though (for me).
