I'm now getting a X1900XTX to replace my broken 7900GTX (same problem with FEAR and 3dmark06 that many people seem to be having). I decided that rather than getting a replacement and living in constant fear of it going bad too to get a X1900XTX instead (although it is somewhat more expensive). Anyway, from the comments I have read it is supposed to be pretty loud and I suspect it will annoy me quite a bit (yes, I understand it only revs up during gaming but I rarely use headphones, often have the sound turned down and will also be using 3d apps) so I will probably drop a new heatsink on it.
To make a long story short, what do people here suggest? I know the Zalman VF900-CU has gotten some praise around here but I would really prefer something that blows the hot air out of my case. So what's good?
