The fan on my Albatron FX5900XTV card is starting to get a little louder... which means it's time to go shopping around for a replacement cooler. Most of the aftermarket coolers I've been able to find are all two slot, or near two slot coolers.

I wouldn't have a problem with that except that I've got the card in a Shuttle SK83G which really doesn’t leave a lot of room for cooling hardware :)

Any advice on what single slot (<30mm tall) coolers are available that would work on a 5900XT? About as close as I can find is the Vantec iCEBERQ5 which at 31mm tall seems like it would be just a bit too tall for the case without having to break out the dremel and cutting some holes. If I was going to do that I'd probably just break down and get a full on two slot cooler and modify it and the case a bit hehe. I'd really rather not do that though.

anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
For what it's worth I checked again and it's closer to 21mm from PCB to chasis... doesn't leave a lot of room to play with.

Any ideas?
