Best fan for a 6800gs AGP?

[firezip]

Hey guys I want my card to last a loooong time(till next summer) and I was wondering what was the best possible cooling solution under 50 bucks. I have oc'ed my card and unlocked the pipes if you are wondering. Thanks for the imput.

I use 4 Vantec Tornado 80mm in the case, (Had to cut out some drive bays to get it to fit in the front)

I use a window airconditioner set on low, maximum cooling.

Resulting temps well below 30 C with me gaming with a winter jacket on.

Ive survived two Arkansas summers with my rig so far with occasional air blowing out of dust bunnies.

Yeah I have a crappy dell so I can't really do any case modding for fans, but I was looking at this cooler

It says it supports a 6800 GT and Ultra but IDK if a GS can use this. Can someone confirm this?

there is also this cooler

It does, look at the third newegg review. Really good cooler too, you should get one.

The stock fan? Sometimes 3rd party coolers can allow you to OC more, usually however you gain 20mhz, and then top out in my experience.
