I have an AIW 9700 pro and I want to overclock it. I heard these are the 2 best vga coolers out right now. The only problem with zalman is that it doesn't have any heatsinks with it. Which one is better? thanks!

Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer is better than both of those.

Why would the Arctic Cooling be better? It doesn't look as powerful as the zalmon or Thermaltake. Lets say if I do get the Arctic one, is there anyway i could add ramsinks and if so, where would i get it at?

It Doesn't LOOK as powerful, but it is, and your problem is only the VGA Silencer Rev3 can fit All in Wonder cards, i don't think neither the zalman nor the thermaltake has compatibility with the AIW cards, and any ramsinks will do, grab some OCZ copper ones, or Tweakmonster.

Thankyou so much. I now plan on buying the Arctic Cooling one and its a lot cheaper than the Zalmon or the Thermaltake one. Good deal! what do you think the max overclock of my AIW 9700 pro will get and what is a stable clock i can keep it at?

Sorry but that information varies between card to card, but if i have to poke a guess i'd say 370ish for the core and 340ish for the ram, so with some luck you'll get up to the 9800pro's speeds.
