Hey guys, looking to retire my 8800GT after a faithful service. Currently a Duo-Orb cooler is mounted on it with stunning results, even after a 740/1800/1000 overclock. But I'm moving up to a GTX260 (216) and am wondering if the duo orb will fit on it too or do I need a new AM cooler?

im pretty sure the regular duo orb wont work, i had one on my 4850 before and they are amazing, but the screw placement is for the nvidia 9 series cards, not for g200 cards, it wouldn't really cool it all that well anyways, the g200 die is much much bigger than a g92 die is, and easily draws more heat and power.

Okay, yeah, it doesn't work on the 200 series but it does on the 48xx's, 8xxx and 9xxx series.

Shifting gears what cooler do you guys recommend for a GTX260 (216)?

I was reading about the Xtreme, it looks badass and the results seem to match the looks. However, its too pricy for me. My budget is 49.99 for a cooler--Should have mentioned this. Also its on auto notify.

I'll look into it if I can't find anything similar performance wise for a lower price. But I'll defiantly keep that link in mind--thanks man.
