ATI X800 Pro Cooling

[Vadi]

Hi!

I overclocked my 9800 Pro to death. Now I'm getting an X800 Pro and I wonder what aftermarket cooling to use.

Anybody tried the Zalman fans? Are they silent like the Arctic VGA Silencers?

Thanks!

Just get one of the newer Artic Cooling Silencers that fit the X800 Pro. They come with big ramsinks too, and they don't cost much.

My Arctic Cooling Silencer is <1 yr old and the fan is dying. And they ignore my emails. Take note of this before you consider one.

Thanks all! I'll go with the Zalman then. It cools the ram too and I'm not sure about the Arctic because its ram sink isn't very firmly attached to the rams.

My Arctic didn't have any ram sink and so I glued some Revoltec copper sinks onto the ram. Unfortunately I couldn't get them off again so I can't return the card anymore.
