Before you go spending money on a new cooler , have you tried RivaTuner? RivaTuner v2.11 download from Guru3D.com. You can create profiles that adjust the speed of the fan on your card to keep it cooler.
I've got a pair of 8800gt and it saved me like 10c.

They still get hot when I put the panel on though. So im with you in that Ill eventually get new coolers for them. Single slot coolers just aren't up to the job.


EDIT: This is a good guide to set it up: Vaguetech - Rivatuner v2.07-10 Guide

Good point Morion.

This is pretty good if you want a dual slot cooler though, lot of people using these:

Yup, I use Rivatuner to keep my 8800GTS quiet. Just dialing the fan down to 90% shuts it up and lets me sleep

I don't have it, but if you read the reviews someone states that it does in fact fit a 9800 GT.

(it uses the same mounting holes as the 8800 GT)
