My MB has one PCI-E X16, PCI-E X1, and PCI slot. I have dual monitors and wanted to increase to tri monitors so I bought this PCI video card for my third monitor.

After i started installing it i realized the heat sink is too big. The only way to make it fit was to remove the heat sink. I did this is the third monitor is working fine.
I wanted to know what suggestions people had to prevent any damage (or potential risk) that could be posed by removing the heat sink. Since it is my third monitor it shouldn't have to deal with anything more CPU intensive then perhaps a video.
Does anyone have any recommendations for cooling that can fit in a very small amount of space?
Thanks.
Kenneth
