I have the eVGA 7900GSKO and the heatsink fan is annoying the hell out of me.
What should I replace it with?
Thermalright HR-03 or the Zalman VF900
My computer is not ultra quiet, but it hardly audible
My System:
Intel E6400 | Zalman CU9500 | EVGA 7900GSKO | Antec P180B | Kingston 2GB 800mhz | Asus P5B

Hands down, Thermalright HR-03. The Zalman VF900 will only add to the noise while the HR-03 will cool your card without a fan perfectly fine.

Welcome to SPCR!
A good passive cooler is fine -- as long as it fits in your system.
