    Does anybody or have they seen a 1 slot cooler for any of the ATI x19** series? I fancy trying out crossfire in my system but the gfx cards are right next to each other so I have no room for their 2 slot coolers. If they dont do you think there's an easy way to mod a cooler to fit?

    Sapphire cards for AGP come with single-slot cooling solutions. You *may* be able to salvage a used one from someone, but I know for a fact that the Sapphire cards deviate from the reference design in several places. I don't believe any aftermarket coolers are a single-slot unit.

    Heyup Alan :D

    The cooler will fit but it's a 2 slot not a 1 slot!!, I think there's only the factory coolers on the lesser models that are 1 slot so either I make my own cooler or just wait and get a better card.

    i could swear that zalman designed them to be single slot, so SLI and crossfire was possible with after market air cooling.

    Nope. i've decided that it's too much hastle to sort out adding another gfx card so am just gunna leave it as the 1 x1900xtx and upgrade at a later date when DX10 becomes slightly more mainstream.
