Need a GPU Cooler

[Calibretto]

I need a GPU cooler for my upcoming 9800GT. I think it's a worthy investment. Can anybody recommend me one? I really don't want to spend over $30 but $40 is my absolute max! Obviously I would need some memory heatsinks as well.

I do not have experience in VGA aftermarket cooling but here are the ones available on NewEgg. Sorted by best rating. Make sure you look through reviews and specifications to make sure your card is compatible.

um thanks but I know how to get there and I've already browsed all the GPU cooling there. I'm asking what one would someone recommend....

use stock cooling imo. switching the cooler voids warranties. if yours didnt come with a warranty though i suggest one from arctic cooling or zalman.

Did I tell you that my temps get up to 97C under load?

That's respectable, just obnoxiously loud.

Get the Arctic Cooler Accelero X1 and run it passively. I think it costs like $30 something dollars on newegg.
