I have a Saphire 4830, but need a single slot cooler that will allow me to use a pci express slot that its covering up.

Any suggestions. This is in an HTPC, so it doesnt have to be the best money can buy.

WOW this is a hard one did some searching but couldn't find anything beyond factory cooling. I am wanting to know what you could do for this? It would be silly but an idea to get a person who has one and get it from them or trade LOL. That would be pointless as it would be a stock cooler still.

What PCB design is it? if it's one of the early ones that copied the 4850, a ref. 4850 stock cooler might work. naked pics of the card?

Its going into a HTPC that i need the pci e port above the card. Its a BTX case XPS 400.

Here is the card

The VRMs aren't set up like a 4850's so no possibility of using a non-modified 4850 cooler.

You might be able to get away w/ using a VF900 too. It's more of a 1.5 slot cooler than a full 2-slot IIRC.

edit.
This might work if it'll mount properly.

A hr-03 mounted so the heatsink extends over the back of the card would work too.
