If you have the room to install it in your case, and don't mind dropping $70, the fan on my HR-03-GT is inaudible unless you take the side panel off, and after the work done here, my idle temps have dropped by 30C/86F.
HR-03-GT Noctua 92mm

Well seeing as though noise (and not heat) is the primary concern... I would say that a passive cooler paired with a low dBA fan is your best bet... Personally, I think the HR-03 is just too bulky and WAAAY overkill for an 8800GT...
Get the Accelero S1 and pair it 1 or 2 low noise fans

As mentioned above the accelero S1 or thermalright HR-03 GT passively cooled are both excellent

I have the HR-03 with an 80mm Noctua and it halved my temps. Went up a few degrees with the resistor in to make the fan totally silent but i can take that for silence lol

My card with the DuOrb idles are 40c and roughly loads of 56c after a few hours of Crysis and my room temp is probably around 73 fahrenheit. Get some AS5 if you do use it.
