Default 8800Gt cooler without a big back plate
I don't have any space behind my graphics card (or on top... depending on who you ask) I'm talking about right behind the GPU. I have a fan on my northbridge chip and it's interfering with my old Zalman VF700 cooler because the backplate is too big.


What are some good coolers out there that don't have a huge backplate?
