Currently i'm using Gigabyte 9600pro with its default heatsink.

But i found a small fan which spin as fast as 5,273RPM is a culprit of unbearable noise which disturb me when i want to study or sleep (need to open the pc 24/7 for torrent)


I want to ask, is it possible for me to replace the heatsink .. maybe to fanless type? (is it possible without damaging the card due to high temperature?)


1. What kind of heatsink i must search which is compatible with this old card?

2. How to install? I don't have a guts to install it.


FYI, i don't use this card for overclock, instead i always downclock it to reduce fan speed..


Guide me please.

Thanks.

one think which concern me is all GPU cooler is suitable with all card or not?

Is it involve anything like socket etc like what happen on CPU heatsink?


I remember my old days where i bought P4 heatsink just to be found that heatsink cannot be attached because at that time i thought all cou heatsink is the same...


Anybody can confirm this?

Thanks.
