Default Which aftermarket cooler for XFX 9800GT ?

The problem is, the XFX card has a barricade in front of it. It also has a stock fan.

If I find a good cooler, how do I install it[I mean what to do with the barricade and stock fan then]?

I just installed a Xigmatek Battle Axe. Super easy installation and I'm getting like 40 degrees C load.

One I'd recommend would be the Thermaltake Duo-orb

To take off your stock heatsink on your graphics card, there are couple screws on the back of the card... simply unscrew all of them, and pull the heatsink off the PCB, and remember to disconnect the fan wire as well... then clean off the thermal paste, and install the new cooler
