    Adding a quiter/passive cooler to a 6600 GT in a SN41G2 V2

    I want too Add a quiter/passive cooler to a PNY 6600 GT (it's got a noisy cooler but was c V/Cheap) in my SN41G2 V2, I've looked at the Zalman VF700 AlCu, which seem's to be my only option for tcooling this card's GPU/memory AND AGP bridge chip, but I think it's too big, there's only just enough room in the case for the stock cooler (nvidia refrence design) cannot any one terll me if this cooler deffiently will/won't fit, ormake any other suggestions/recommendations?

    Thats what I thought, there all two slot solutions aren't they, also they don't list a cooler for AGP 6600GT cards (althought I thought they made one), just PCIE ?
    The AGP card in a SN41G2V2 faces the outside of the case (with space for the standard/Nvidia refrence cooler on my card and little else) not the inside, so it can't take up the PCI slot, which is on the inside of the AGP card (I've got a TV tuner card in there anyway) so any other suggestions?
    I've looked at the Zalman VF700-AlCu, but I think it needs 3cm clearnace for the heatsink/fan housing, which I simply don't have (otherwise this would be the perferct solution),

    Realistically, the only options I found myself with were modding the side of the case (messy), or watercooling. In the end I decided to just tolerate the noise, I was going to watercool it but I decided I couldn't be bothered given the cost and effort involved.
