3rd party graphics cooling?

[LostBok]

I now have an X1900XT... which I am VERY happy with.

But in the eternal search for somehting faster, I've tried a few OC's - it will OC up to X1900XTX speeds very happilly, but the cooler sounds like a hair-dryer during some gaming / benchmarks.

I am after something like the Accelero X2, but would like it to vent OUTSIDE the case.... ideally something like the HIS iceQ3 cooler, but I couldn't find anybody who had these in stock when I was shopping for my XT and they aren't sold separate to the grpahics card, as far as I am aware.

Are there any third party graphics cooling solutions that provide similar features and performance for equally low noise levels?

The HIS cooler looks like a modified Arctic Silencer. I haven't seen any AS models for the 1900s other than the acceleros.

The VF900 is better than an Arctic Silencer, but it doesn't vent air outside the case.

Im not sure your right about that Ive had both and they are similar in performance. The vf900 is a great cooler and at 100 perecent the fan can be heard , but not mutch, however, the Accelerox2 can't be heard at all even at 100 perecent and the two are super close in performance. I just sold my Vf900 and went back to the Accelero and there is a difference in sound and if the VF900 is better I sure cannot tell.
