I have a picture of an 8800 series VGA cooler and have had no luck identifying who makes it, can someone tell me who makes this VGA cooler? Thanks a million!

Uhmm.... it would say the brand name on the card.

You know now that you mention it it might be the side of an 8800Ultra but can't be sure. If that is an aftermarket cooler than it will fit nicely in the same case as the picture. I still am thinking about getting the Thermalright HR-03 8800 series cooler with six heat pipes, but because of the way my mainboard lay out is (Asus P5E X38 uses the same PCB as the Asus Maximus Formula) were theres a regular PCI slot behind closer to the processer which pushes my 8800 down further than I'd like.

It looks similar in design (but not the same) to a 7900GTX or Gigabyte V-Power coolers but without their plastic shrouds.
It is not an 8800Ultra HSF with no shroud.
I assume you did not buy and fit it yourself, but came with the card. Can you ask the person you bought it off?
It certainly isn't a well known brand if there is no identity on it, and I don't recognise it (although I'm not a world authority on video card cooling!).

 

@ jedimasterben --- It is obviously not the standard 8800GTX cooling solution, and the brand may not be on it.

 

EDIT: OK, it just occurred to me from your second post that this isn't a picture of your system, and that the card may not be the 8800GTX in your sig.
It is possible that the HSF may not be available in my or your markets, so it may be difficult to identify it without being able to inspect it.

That kinda looks like the reference cooler for the 7900GTX imo. With the heatpiping and all. Not sure what brand it would be though.
