Default Zalman or AC Cooler for Ati 9800xt

Hi,

the original fan for the Ati 9800xt has died, but i'm having difficulty in finding a used/new Arctic Cooling VGA cooler

so i'm thinking of purchasing Zalman VF700-Cu, but im worried that the ram heat sinks are a little too passive for my case. Does the fan actually circulate air around the heat sinks or is it dependent on case cooling ?

this is how much space the card has when installed, pictured is a 9600 im using at the moment

The Zalman heatsink will move air across the ram heatsinks that you install keeping them cool without any issues.
