    Have you your heart set on passive cooling? I'm gonna be getting a 6600GT PCI-E card aswell. Did a bit of digging into coolers for it and I'm gonna go with either the Artic Cooling Rev.2 nVidia 6 VGA Silencer or the Zalman VF700-CU Quiet Copper VGA Silencer.

    i think the Zalman cooler will go onto an AGP 6600gt aswell, just a little more awkwardly. was reading it last night somewhere. the only difference is that the AGP HS has to be separate from the GPU HSF.

    i'll post the link when i find it.

    please post link qman, would be appreciated...

    I was due to get the Zalman VF700-CU from jes, but stock is out and has been for about a month. Looked into the Artic Cooling Rev.2 nVidia 6 VGA Silencer aswell, but I have a case fan in side panel and would blow straight onto the passive zalman like the optional fan you can get for it.

    Just want to make the pc as quiet as possible :)
    it's pretty good so far, but gfx card is a bit louder than the other fans,
    but for a standard gfx hsf, i must say, it's very quiet, much better than my old 9600xt.

    U talking bout the 9800pro??? I dont have one on my 6600gt, they haven't made one for the AGP version. As it is on the Std cooler I get 585mhz, although i've seen them @ 600Mhz. Might watercool it n see what i get, trying to sell it at the mo so don't want to touch it till i decide what im gonna do.
