Sick of this dainty 9600 Pro HSF

I've finally isolated the last of the loud components in my PC, the HSF attached to my 9600 Pro. I removed the fan from the heatsink for about a minute when the system was in idle, and my PC was just about silent, with a mild whisper coming from my PSU and CPU fans.

This also brought light to the millimeter-thick piece of trash that was cooling my GPU, so I've decided to buy a new cooler for my video card. I want something very quiet, and I want better cooling than what is currently being offered to my card.

Any ideas?
 
Should I bother getting that new one with the attachable silent fan? I've seen tests where it helped quite a bit, and knowing Zalman, the fan's noise won't bother me.
 
fans always help.

I'd get an 80 mm silent fan and just put it looking at the heatpipe. Ownage :D.

depends on your cooling? Do you have a side intake fan blowing over the agp area? if so go wtih the heatpipe.

if not either venture into 1u rackmount copper cooling and rheostat the fan down to 6v = not hearable. or try the artic cooler thing.

but the copper hsf will dissipate much more heat.
