Video card cooling

My nVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT card is overheating and I'm thinking about getting a VGA cooler such as "ARCTIC COOLING ACCELS1 Rev 2 VGA Cooler" or "ULTRA PERFORMANCE VGA COOLER". How good do VGA coolers work and whats a decent one for around 20 bucks that will fit my card?

Re: Video card cooling

Hi... The Arctic model will drop your heat down a few degrees. I saw that model listed on Newegg just recently for $29.99 new. Just check the description for a list of supported cards. Also, I have a different version (S2), and it's very BIG. Beware. This will take up two slots on your mobo and possibly stick out of your box. Arctic also has another version with a fan attachment for further cooling. Useful, definitely.
