My card is making a noise like a wounded camel, and it's 100% down to the sodding cooler on my gainward 7900GT.
Any suggestions, with the emphasis on ease of installation!

Any of the Zalmans are easy and very good :)
Something like this
Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev. 2 VGA Cooler
and then this if you need fans
Arctic Cooling Accelero S1/S2 Turbo Module
This would also be quite good im sure
Zalman VF900-CU Quiet Copper VGA Cooler
Thanks peeps
I like the idea of the accelero without the addition of the fan accessory, but the only fan in my system is on the cpu currently... so there isn't much at all in the way of airflow, do you think it will be ok on it's own?
Saying that, I do have a couple of 120mm fans knocking around :p
Can't hurt to try it without a fan, see if the temps are good after a bit gaming.
with the current cooler my 7900GT got a rather worrying 106 degrees when looping 3dmark :o
i'll try it, thanks for the reccomendations :)
passive function does rely on some sort of case airflow to get air circulating around it.
however if you zip tie a fan to it, performance will be super.
I need to install some case fans anyway, i've got two 92mm fans for the front I just need to buy a rheobus to keep them quiet.
