I have had some problems with my 9800 gt getting around 60-70c while under load and i want to install a vga cooler on it to keep the temps down to 40-50c, but i am not sure on how to do that or what vga cooler i should get. if any1 has a vid or detailed instructions on how i should go about doing this that would be helpful.

I used to have an 8800gt and i remember it having a terrible hsf so i replaced it with AC Accelero s1

it kept the temp 35 idle and 45C max under load. Pretty decent for a passive however make sure you place the ram heatsinks properly
