Cheap ($30, prefer less) cooler for 7600gt?

I'm in need of an aftermarket cooler for my 7600gt. If it's warm in the room the card idles at 57c, load is in the low 70c's. This thing is hot to the touch!

Are these any good?

How about this one? Like many others, it doesn't mention the 7600 series.

I want to order one today, so any help/opinions is appreciated.

Yeah, I didn't really want to, but if $10-20 keeps it 10c+ cooler (and quieter), I'll go for it. Actually, I got the card for $79.99 after rebate. And yes, I did get the rebate from 411 without a hitch.

Something like that will cost you $130. It idles at around 46 C. Load temperature around 58 C after an hour of Half Life 2. Almost noiseless too

Good luck...

I paid $80 for the 7600gt a few months back.

Why would I pay $130+ for a card that has virtually the same performance, just adding DX10 support? I mean the 7600/8600 can't even max out 2 year old games like FEAR or CoD 2 (@ 1024 & 1280)....who wants to play Crysis at low settings and low resolutions? Have you watched that 720p demo highlighting the Crytek2 engine for developers? It looks like it's going to eat cards alive unless DX10 does something really special.

The 7600gt is my first card, and I definitely won't go for anything less than an 8800gts 320mb when I upgrade late this year.

You're right about the fans. I think we might have the same case, but i'm sure mine has a 92mm fan on it. The fan is from Foxconn, who knew they made fans? They must be cheap oem, its going to be relocated to intake duty when i get a new fan. Talking about dremels, its either going to be that or my .45 for this case.

I have the aluminium version at 40 idle and 65 on load.

You are right of course, but my advice was based on low noise too. If you can sell your 7600 for $70 plus $30 you will be saving by not buying a decent aftermarket cooler, then you only have to spend around $30 more for a DX10 card. It will surely be better than 7600GT with the new DX10 games but do not forget that we are talking about midrange cards here. Maxing out Crysis will take something more than a 8800gts 320mb! Anyway, if you really want to keep your 7600, go for the Zalman, i use it for a couple of years and it is really both cool and silent solution. Only problem is that it wastes 1 pci slot.

@Noya:

It is because the benchmarks are not great! An 8600 GT is just something like an 7600GT with 80nm manufacturing process (therefore it is cooler), GDDR3 @128bit, a little higher clocking and DX10. It gets beaten from a 7600GT by a small margin in some older games, but looks much better with STALKER and the like. It will definitely show the difference with DX10 games. But it is cheap enough right now to consider a small upgrade, especially if you can sell your 7600. Otherwise, wait for ATI's cards and buy a 8800 GTS when it gets around $180 or whatever looks nice at the time. Best review i have read is from anandtech.

I bought a 8600GT yesterday, upgrading from a 7600GS and it delivers, for my needs at least. Decent, cheap DX10 midrange card and silent too
