Thermaltake CoolMod died so what's a better cooler

[MDS]

I am running a gf4 ti4600 in which the stock fan was starting to go out so I replaced it with the coolmod and it lasted only 3 months before the fan started rattling. It's still going but getting noisy. So what would be a good cooler for this card that will last longer then the junk coolmod? I wonder with the fan being faced downward cause the bering to go out faster. I keep the case clean and never blow the fan with air unless holding in place to keep it from over spinning at a high rate of speed.

I have thought about the Zalman Heatpipe Cooler to get away from the fan al together.

BTW I don't game just video edit and mild photoshop.

I would suggest either the Zalman 80C-HP or the Vantec Iceberq4 .

AR I had seen that at Directron for $30 and thought about it also. Have you used it before? Also I wonder how these wrap around type HS will work with my card. Here is my card.

Can't say that I've used one, but the reviews seem to like them. It should work fine on you card. I have the Visiontek GF4 Ti4400 with the stock HSF in my machine.
