I have a Leadtek Winfast 7600GS @ 400/350 DDR2 @ 55 degrees celsius. I overclocked the card and got these results: [Max Core: 530] [MAX Mem: 460]. The best combined overclock i can achieve before artifacts appear is 465/455 @ 67 degrees celsius under load. I am well aware that for DDR2 the maximum effective is 500Mhz.
I am considering buying 3rd Party Cooling for my card. Is it possible for me to achieve the MAX : 530/460 if i buy third party cooling such as the Zalman VF700-AlCu or will it only make a small difference of maybe +10MHz?
If it does make a diference i was wondering which cooler would be a better choice: 1) Zalman VF700 AlCu or 2) Cooler Master Coolviva G1. The G1 cost half as much as the zalman in my country. If the Zalman is better, is it exponentially better or just a little better?

forget the coolviva G1 it's incompatible with my card, thanks for the reply jam, when u say not worth it, u mean, anything above the aforementioned OC i would not see any significant difference right?
