    There are alot of them. It depends on how far you want to go and how much you want to spend.

    I take it the original fan broke?

    Yes, but unless your over clocking the default should be perfectly fine.

    it "should" be fine, but i own a Radeon 9800 and i feel as though the heatsink/fan on it is grossly inadequate...even when you aren't running a game you can burn yourself on the heatsink...it's been that way since day one and it's not a problem with the fan...etc. Sometimes it's nice to have that comfort zone and know that your stuff is cooooooool.

    I use a card slot fan similar to this:





    The slot under the video card isn't often used anyway. My video card had no fan, so this was the perfect option. This one is from Tiger Direct, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=120565&Tab=1&NoMapp=0
