Well I want to kick up the OC on my GS as well as quiet it down (@70% fan it's the loudest thing in my case). The temps right now are below 65C load and 40s idle.
So I was thinking about the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1
It's cheap and reviews say it works well. My only worry is the voltage regulators... How will they stay cool?

So will it work or should I look at something else?

That should work fine, I haven't heard anything about overheating voltage regulators on the 8800GS, though I might just be forgetting something.

It comes with heatsinks, and you can always strap a fan to it too.

Oh, I see that now, under accessories, it comes with 2 voltage regulator heat spreaders and 8 memory heatsinks.

People said the heatsinks for the voltage regulators were only good for ATI cards...

I thought about getting an accelero for an 8800gs when I had it but it didn't seem worth the price. The $25 that it would cost me could get me an 8800gt if I were to sell the 8800gs. The accelero is a good cooler and I used one when I had an 8800gt. It does come with ramsinks but I never used them, I heard that they were difficult to get to stay on. I opted to buy a set of iandh ramsinks instead.

Try get a dead Asus 9600GSO and rip the cooler off that!

I've got one that doesn't exceed 50C under load!
