I have a 9800pro 128MB saphire card. I want to do some minor overclocking of the card in order to get better game preformance ( Doom3, Farcry ). I was wondering what the best options are for cooling other than the stock. At this moment in time I am not for sure what kind of memory I have on the card. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is samsung.

Get the VGA Silencer with some aluminum ramsinks. Not too keen on copper since it will take heat off the HSF and heat the ram up.

With you card on Doom 3, Id concentrate on OCing the RAM since the textures are huge.
