They have some excellant Guides you can use and a forum at heatsink- guides.com and Guru3d.com. I dont know much about coolers but I felt someone should answer you. Does anyone have a better answer? . . . . .Red

2 or 4, or go for water cooling

Or see if you can fine anywhere that carries an Arctic Silencer.

heard a bad review of the arctic silencer where he had to file down the copper base to get it to fit his 6800 ultra

Then he bought the wrong revision, or had a non standard refrence card design.

I read a review about the thermaltake fanless cooler and it says it would be more effective if my system had water cooling and excellent air flow which i dont think i have really. So i guess im looking at the cooler master then. Any more takers?

oh, and if i do buy a cooler will it lessen the artifacts when overclocking?

I have a arctic silencer on my 6800GT and the thing cools great, temps never get above 65 Deg Celcius on full load with the card OC.
