which brand? evga has the best cooler imo... they dont only vent air out the side of the card but the back too. xfx does not vent out the back and is much hotter. you can duct the hot air out of the side of your case with little modification

yes evga is probably the best choice for a 9800gx2. i've seen another forum member whos got airflow issues with the xfx one
in a 23 degree ambient room with a moderate cabling job. my card runs at 69 degrees at 45% fan speed. when things get more demanding the autofan speed kicks the fan speed to 100% and keeps it at 87 degrees, otherwise its just going to kick me out of games around 95 degrees

How is that possible?

They're all the same reference design card with the same stock cooler, just with a different sticker slapped on
