Default 8800GT aftermarket cooler
I was contemplating getting this:

http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=810140

It got good reviews in Custom PC and a "Premium Grade" award. Anyone got one and know whether it is good?

Any other suggestions for heatsinks <£20?

Never heard anything about that cooler, I would recommend either the arctic cooling accelero s1 rev 2 as a budget cooler, and for a high end cooler I would recommend the thermalright hr-03 gt.

I read that the Accelero S1 rev 2 was just okay, and even with a fan it didn't perform too well. Is that true?

Here's a comparison of the most popular 8800gt heatsinks, the accelero s1 performs very well. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?...50aHVzaWFzdA==
