I have the older model of this card with no mounting holes. Does anyone know if any of the Zalman HSF models will fit this card? Or know of any other passive cooling methods?

I had an 8500 and wanted to use the Zalman. You can't. Sorry.

get some of the artic silver compound stuff thats kinda like superglue (but conductive), and then whack a big socket7/socketA heatsink onto the card :) maybe secure it with cable ties somehow.. or just get a bigger fan (eg 80mm) blowing over it, on say 7v
