Zalman VF900 is probably the easiest and near top performing.
You can use an Artic Cooling Silencer 5, ver 3 and saw off .5" of the plastic end. Thermalright HR-03 is supposedly awesome as well but may block some other slots. The Sytrin KuFormula VF1 Plus is also very effective but takes up 1.5 slots and hard to mount fan.

Agreed. I have a VF-900 and it works great! The HR-03 is actually better performing with a good 92mm fan but it will take up room in your case.

i'd get the zalman, but i don't want to use that speed controller thing. nor do i want it on full blast all the time. if it had a 2 pin so i can plug it into the video card and have the video set the rpm's, that'd be great.

You could get a Thermalright HR-03 VGA Cooler. It runs completely passively, and, if you want, you can add a 92 or 120mm Fan on there, hook that up to a Fan Controller, and adjust the speed whenever you want.

i think i may go with the hr-03. i like how i can mount it so it wraps around the card, that it would have 0 change of interfering with pci cards below it.

If you need a 2/3 pin on the Zalman, just splice the wire or get an adapter.

for the hr-04, i have a 120mm fan blowing directly onto my video card.
i don't want to use the speed controller because that's just one more thing i have to mess with.
