8800GT: Need a new cooler.
The EVGA one is lol fail. Its like a lawnmower and it doesn't cool that well. I want to push my 8800GT into overdrive so I need a new cooler.
__________________Can you guys recommend me one? Budget isn't a problem but I'm not really comfortable spending more then $50 for such a small thing.

eVGA Akimbo: http://cgi.ebay.com/EVGA-AKIMBO-Dual...QQcmdZViewItem
It's basically the stock GTS cooler with a back heatsink. It might not cool as well as those expensive HR-03 class coolers, but this is the only good cooler that exhaust all the heat out the back of your case insteading of recirculating. It can even handle voltmods so no worries.

Du orb and Accelero S1 are regularly recommended. I have the accelero on my 8800gt and it works like a charm. You can add the turbo module on it or just strap a 120mm fan to it. Only problem is that you have to make sure you clean the ram very well or else the ramsinks have a tendency to fall off,

Go for the Akimbo like NuclearCrap recommended. Unlike other coolers, it is like the GTS cooler where all the hot air is blown outside of the case instead of back in.

You want ultimate air cooling? Take this advice:
Get an HR-03GT and a custom iandh unisink. I already have the HR-03 GT, I'll be getting the unisink soon. It'll cost you about $80-90 to cool one card, but talk about some great temps!!!!!
