Hi guys, my ASUS 8500gt passive is getting really really hot, and dumping heat into my case. I currently have it running @ 60'c idle with a pci slot fan next to it.

I want to upgrade the passive cooler to an active one. But i cannot find any coolers onling which are cheap-ish and definately fit the 8500gt.

I am looking at the Akasa Vortexx and this akasa cooler: http://i11.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/e1/14/b8b5_1.JPG

Does anyone know if the Vortexx and the cooler i linked to will fit? I think my cards mounting holes are 55mm apart or so.
 
I'd go with buying a better card (like a NV 8600 or ATI 3650) and selling the 8500gt (on eBay for example).

I can't really help you with the aftermarket cooler.
