Did your MSI card not come with a fan? Or did you just find it loud? I think that most video card fans are a bit loud. I'd say a Blue Orb or a Crystal Orb would do nicely, but some reviews have said that the noise could be heard over the over fans in the system. They are quite cheap.

My firewall tastes like burning. :eek:

The thing is though, you could get big card coolers that are 180mm, but there would be no way to secure it to your video card. If you could find out how loud your fan is. The Crystal Orb produces about 28dba, but I've seen many fans that produce more than that. If you'd like to see a review <A HREF="http://www.mikhailtech.com/articles/cooling/crystalorb/" target="_new">Here's</A> a good review.
