Okay, so I popped Speedfan out today and was checking out the temps in my machine and my GPU is running way hotter than it usually does for some reason. I'm pretty sure the fan is going but it's not going like it had previous, which cooled the GPU better. I've decided to get another card but I'm also going to get some additional VGA cooling supplies and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for what I should get. I'm not really that up on it.

Tips for mounting and use would also be very greatly appreciated.

If you get a GT 200 series card Thermal right makes some really good aftermarket cooling.

I bought a 9600GT today and got a Zalman cooler with it so I should have no issues with at this point. Von K uses the same cooler on an ATI 4870 so it should fit mine pretty easily. Though, just some general tips for mounting would be great too. :xcahik_:
