What would be a good choice for an aftermarket cooling fan/heatsink for an ATI x1600 Pro. I have read that the stock cooler is horrible, and when I build my new computer I want to make sure my card is cooled well. I've found a few... but I really have no idea what to even look for in a cooler. I'd like to keep the cost as low as possible, as I only plan to have the card for a few months. Thanks.
 
From personal experince (look at siggy...) Zalman cooler is a very good buy; temps never get above 60C, especially with high overclocks...... RAM heatsinks are a plus too..........

BTW, go with either the 7600 GS or the GT; x1600 Pro is very lacking.......

I got a deal on the x1600. It wasn't what I wanted, but it was too hard to pass up. It will be replaced by a DX10 card in a few months.
 
Be ready to shell out the big bucks when the cards first come out. The ATI Radeon X2000 saw great results in the reviews seen so far on the new R600 series.
