This 6800GS is AGP and has a bridge chip, which unfortunately my Zalman doesn't cover (right now I have a memchip heatsink on there, but I don't have any more) and the back of the PCB where it is, feels really hot, on top of that, I'm getting artifacting in games, and weird yellow lines on light coloured bits on webpages, which I currently think has to do with the Bridge chip (I'm sure its overheating, or getting close to it) and I want to know, where can I find a largish heatsink for cheap to cover it? Or anything that will help with it really, I just don't want to end up with a good GPU but dead Bridge chip.

Post some pics of your card and someone here might be able to assist you with locating one that would fit

Darn, I was about to get annoyed cuz my Camera's battery is flat, but I have some naked pics of it, that I posted on wiki to prove there is a 512Mb 6800GS, Uploading now.
Edit: ![]() You can't really see two of the mountings holes, and if that doesn't help, it uses the outer 4 spots for "nipples" on the Zalman VF900Cu Edit2: I put a Pentium MMX cooler on the back of it, it seems to be slightly better now (Less website artifacting, etc), I used some OCZ FreeZe on the memory chip, and put the Pentium MMX cooler on the back, it seems to be working...
