Look for the accelero s1 revision 2, cheap and very efective. For a bigger drop in temps strap a fan to it.

I saw it but people were talking about how the ram HS fell off and stuff. Are the RAM HSreally that important?

If you overclock your memory, I would say so.

Well everyone said the RAM HS falls off and I dont want that to happen. And buying extra ram HS would cost me more than I wanted to.

I would totally go for the Thermaltake DuOrb. I purchased it for my 8800GT and love it. It dropped my temps by more than 10C and load never exceeds 50C. It would do better in a cooler case, I'd say expect better results.
The fans on mine run as fast as I can get them and they are extremely quiet, much quieter than the 120mm fan in my rad. Definitely tw
