Cooling kit for Radeon 9800 ,what ya think??

Hey guys,

As I'm getting an 9800 this week, and I want to overclock it, I was looking for a nice extra cooling solution, and came across the following:

http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/51/394.htm?707

Now what I would like to know is, what y'all think of it??!!

Don't look at the price, some might find it high some find it so-so, I don't care about the price, just wanna know if anyone has any experience with it, or knows if it's a nice cooler regarding performance.

Thanks in advance

Ultima

And before I forget, I checked 2cooltek on resellerratings and it came out very nicely.

But what I was wondering about, how can it be checked that the companies themselves don't add reviews to the site themselves??

Is there any way that this is checked??

I can't see the hsf making much difference, but the ramsinks would prolly be a welcome addition, I was thinking of getting some for my 9700pro.

That said: you could just buy any ramsinks, cut them down to size and save £'s.

Thing is, the default heatsink on the card is a bit damaged and the fan isn't running all that well anymore.

And I wanted a cool looking card for once, my Ti4200 is an oem and came from an HP machine, they are as stripped as can be.

So, I'm getting fancy stuff this time.

I've been able to get a sweat deal on the 9800, from a friend, who wants the AIW version, so he sells me the 9800 for 150 bucks.

I guess that 28 bucks for the heatsink can be justified, right??
