Unless you use a fan as well, the Zalman heatsink doesn't actually cool as effectively as the stock hatsink/fan. Are you having problems when it is overclocked only?

My mate bought a 9800 Pro and has severe overheating problems playing games. The PC just reboots itself after a while.
I did read somewhere that running the AGP at 4x instead of 8x has little affect on performance and can reduce temperatures - worth a try?
