Post PCI cooling or onboard?

hey all!

I was wondering, what works best for keeping your graphics card @ low temps? one of those pci slot double fan cooling components or replacing the stock fan on the gpu with a better one and mounting heatsinks on the memory chips. your thoughts...?

Both, but the onboard heatsink will make more of a difference. I use an aftermarket cooler along with a PCI blower/exhaust fan, and I get some nice temps even at a high overclock.
