Looking for something quiet for when I build a mATX system. Probably on a card similar to my 9600GT.

You're going to have a hard time finding a decent single slot aftermarket cooler... almost all solutions take up at least one additional slot

The only cooler i can think of that's single slot, quiet and has decent cooling capabilities is the Zalman vf100 (and I can't even find it on the zalman website, let alone at any retailers - perhaps it was canceled?)

Well good luck on your search dude

The only good single slot cooler that I can think of is the Vapor-X cooler that came with the Sapphire 3870 Toxic, but I don't think they were sold separately.

Thanks for the replies, both they both appear to be dead ends

How come you want it to be single slot?

Aside from that the Zalman vf900, is slightly taller than single slot but its practically silent.

Planning on going mATX and plan on making use of all 4 expansion slots.

Why not instead get an Antec Spot cool, and have it blow on your video card from the side or something?

You might want to consider the Thermalright HR-03, you can mount the cooler backwards to free up the other slots.
