I'm having random lock-ups with my card, which is an Elsa Flacox 980FX Pro, ATI Radeon 9800 pro w/ 256 MB DDR. I suspect the problems are heat related.
I'm pretty sure it's not power supply related, as I have a high wattage high end model in there.
So what do the board denizens recommend I purchase? Does anyone have any used models they might be willing to sell?

Hi Clay,
Here's a link to the cooler I have on my card (it's also the one on my 9700 Pro). Cheap, effective and relatively easy to install.

Edit: On further review, I see a post indicating that it might not fit on an ATI 9800 Pro 256 mb card.
I'm using a Zalman cooler on my 6800U with good results, its a few dollars more than the artic cat cooler, one of the features i liked about the zalman is that its got individual heat sinks for each ram chip. I think both products will improve your stock cooling.
