Whats the best fan/heatsink for an OC'ed Radeon?

I just figured out that my Radeon 9800SE's 4 disabled pipelines function correctly - So I am going to softmod it to a 9800 Pro. Anyone have a recommendation for a new cooling fan to keep the R350 core from getting too hot?

Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer. There's one that is specially designed for 9800s.

I use the Artic Cooling VGA Silencer, and it allowed me to go from 390/369 to 425/375, using ATItool to overclock. I cant even hear the thing on the high speed setting, but my case fans are loud thought. It is a great product, but one draw back is that it takes up another pci slot.
I would reccomend getting one even if your not overclocking or anything. It helps lower case tems by venting the hot air from the card directly out the back of the case, instead of just circulating it around.
I picked mine up at www.svc.com

will that work as well as putting a giant Zalman heatsink on my GPU? I like the looks of the Arctic Cooler, I like the price as well.

I think it would work just as well, depending on what Zalman you would get. If it was a passive(no fan), then the artic cooler would work better because it is an active cooler (has a fan). You can look for benchmarks of various GPU coolers to help you decide, thats what i did and thats why i went with the artic cooler, because of it's preformance and good price.
