I've searched but none of the threads have been conclusive.

Can someone spell out the full list of coolers that are available for the X1900XT?

I've got one coming, and while I'm going to wait and see how the fan noise seems to me, I've heard that on the highest of its 3 settings it really quite loud. I"m a quiet PC guy, so I want to minimize this.

I know it is also best to have the air exhausted out of the case, but that adds to noise as well, so if the bet. I'm going to be running this in an Antec P180, so it has very good airflow, but of course the less heat in the case the better. bit of a conundrum there.
 
none of the coolers are out yet.. but the ones that are coming that support the X1900 are:

Arctic Cooling Accelero X2
Zalman VF900
 
this has already been discussed in the ati section please go there...

alright enough of being mod-like :p ...the conclusion was.....there isnt one
 
The New Artic Cooler has a horrible design blowing hot air downwards....
Sigh I love Artic Coolers.
 
"Arctic".

Artic (short for articulated) is the type of joint on a lorry, between the cab and trailer (I believe what's called a "semi" in the US.(Prof mode off) :)

(no offence meant)

For the OP there's always the option of liquid cooling?

I think it's ThermalTake that have that closed-loop kit thing that fits in the place of two PCI slots and means you don't have to "get your fingers wet". ;)
