These guys have a pretty good selection. Check it out and go research the good ones (see below):

--Aerocool VM-101 (First time I've actually seen this one....and it's a monster)
--Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer Rev. 3
--ThermalTake Extreme Giant III
-- Zalman ZM80C-HP

However, if you want the best GPU cooling you'll have to go DIY and attach a CPU HSF to it.

If you want better performance, a newer card would be advisable. the FX 5200 was one of the worst cards made imho. My Radeon 9000 pro smacks its ass.

But, what anon said. Those are decent coolers. Go into watercooling, and get a gpu watervlock for the best cooling.

Watercooling isnt for the faint of heart.

i have a vga silencer...it lowered my gpu temps by about 30 degrees F (results measured via infrared thermometer)...oh, using it on an ati radeon 9800pro (sorry about the LATE post, just caught the thread).

no matter how much you oc the 5200, its still a POS....

te artic silencer rev 3 is NOT compatible 3with the 5200, DO NOT GET IT. Get the iceberq 4, it will cool good and be compatible i have one wth the iceberq in my secondary rig works good. And for overclocking and cooling info look at my video overclocking guide HERE
