Default Best 8800GT Cooler?

Hey i need a really good cooler for under $50 for a 8800GT. I am clueless on VGA cooling...

I will be buying 2 of them for my SLI config and i have a $100 budget for 2 of them.

I would have to agree with the previous posts. I have the DuOrb Cooler for my 9800GT and it works great. A great way to go if you dont have the cash to go with liquid Cooling.

I use Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo. $40 here in Canada. Works very well. GPU idles at 40C and tops at around 50C. My video card is overclocked as well.

Edit - Bear in mind that these coolers are quite big and if you're PCI-E slots aren't far enough from eachother you may have trouble with SLI.

I had one on my 8800GT and it worked great. Now I have it on my 8800GTS 512 and works just as well.
