If just got this one 2nd handed: http://www.zotacusa.com/specsheet/ZT-50203-10M.pdf
But when I was running the Unigine Valley benchmark, I noticed the card was quite hot (~84°C), while my previous card (which had a ASUS directcu ii cooler) only got up to about 65°C

So, I'm wondering if I could put on a new cooler on my "new" card.
If so, what should I be looking for?

84C is not bad for Fermi. Temps are fine, however, if you do want to add a cooler, where can you purchase? Websites?

I live in Belgium, so no newegg for me.
this site has some http://azerty.nl/producten/zoek?GROEP_ID=1091&p_tab=8&v...

Or if you know one specifically you can use this site: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/
"Zoek in de Pricewatch" = "search in the pricewatch"
It gives a list of of internet shops where the item you search is available.

And then one of my personal favorates that is really big but can potentially be either very quiet or very powerful :

Here is what I put on my MSI 570

http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=1&...

Even overclocked to 920Mhz core in the summer my temps are still down and it can not be heard over my case fans.

But if you do buy it don't bother with the memory heatsyncs they are a joke as are 99% of 2 sided tape on syncs.

Thanks for the recommendation , looks really nice too.
But I'm really starting to doubt now if it would be wise to put an aftermarket cooler on my GPU.
I still have more than a year of warranty on it, and replacing the cooler would void the warranty...

I intent to use this card for about 10 more months (until nvidia releases their 800 series).

I can understand that, Zotac isn't really known for great overclocking anyway. They usually do come with pretty heavy factory oc's though. All the best
