You can find at their site a table with the compatible chips for that cooler. From what I can see the HD 3850 is listed there, so either AGP or PCI-e versions are compatible. Feel free to use that one. Also, if you do purchase that cooler, it comes with a very handy fan controller (FAN MATE 2), so that you don't have to use software to control the fan speed. Considering that the VF900 is a very quiet cooler, even at max speed, I doubt you'll have noise issues.
Have fun with that card!
