I have recently fitted my older Zalman CPU 7000 series cooler and have realised that the Asus EN9500GT MG video card's GPU fan I have is not as quiet as I thought. I have tried checking QuietPC & Silentpcreview but they don't really seem to have much information/reviews of substance.

What would be a good choice for a video card mod? Either passive or silent fan solution would be acceptable. Cheers.

I had the VF1000 and that was a good cooler on my 8800GT, I used the fan speed controller and set it to low, never had a problem with head.

New card came stock with some sortof Zalman too, but ti's too loud :( HIS 4870 1gb
