I have a Zalman vf1000 fan and heatsink for the card. I think it is the best graphics card cooler out there. But again, even with the great low temps I still had to find a sweet spot for the overclocking when running the aquarium. I don't play games online so low frame rates aren't that important. I just like to experiment with the overclocking. Besides, I have the xfx alpha dog edition of the 9600gt and it comes with a lifetime warranty no matter how much you push it. Also using OCZ thermal paste. It is a little more explensive than arctic silver but my cpu and graphics card came down 2 to 3 degrees celcius with the OCZ stuff.
