I've seen some different types of coolers that come with a 8800GT. I'm just wondering which one to choose. I'm not planning to overclock my card or to use SLI (so a bigger fan isn't a problem). But I'm wondering wether there is a difference in noise level or if there is any difference at all.

You don't need a new heatsink if you're not overclocking.

I agree. The reason being, the stock fan is extremely quiet at any speed below 35% or so. At the default 29%, I can't even hear it. If you aren't overclocking, then you won't have to worry about temps which will rise in the 80s celsius.

It's not about buying a new heatsink, or upgrading my heatsink, but about chossing between heatsinks. I would like to know wether one of those heatsinks is better, or wich one isn't efficient at all or wich one is the most quiet one at stock speeds.
