Just got Ati silencer 4 sitting infront of me just about to stick it on , then im gonna OC my videocard from 530/601 Whats a program that reads your video temps?
Thanks!

I think your ATItool should read the temp.
I don't know if there is an aftermarket software that can do that.

It doesnt seem to make a differencen in overclocking, i cant go any higher :'( why is this,
The pc just freezes!
Edit:I think it wasnt worth gettin the VGA cooler now!
Well let's see you've already OC'ed your card from 475 to 530 on the core and from 900 to 1208 on the memory. How much more do you want?
Artic vga silencer doesnt promise higher oc's, just better temps than stock...i dont think your doing to badly. I bet your temps at that oc have drastically dropped. Have you volt modded your card? you may have just reached the cards limit....

Vortexkrow do you notice if the card is pushing the hot air out of pulling the air in?
I notice it is pulling the air in from the back of the case...
and the fan spins this way (which I think it is the wrong way):

You should have bought the ati silencer 4 Plus

Can you buy that??
Or did you mod it?
LOL.... :clap:
Looks like one sweet mod~
Good job on that!

So wait......the HSF of the VGA silencer fits a 60mm fan? .....eeeexelent
Just make sure under size the cut out so the fan snaps in place.
theres no extra noise with both fans on, the rackmount fan is 4500 rpm
excellent exhaust now idle is 38 c load after doom or farcry for an hour is under 50c
this would work nicely on the vga silencer
wow thats awesome....i think i might need to do that with mine:) what did you use to cut it out?

I disagree, without Silencer4, my ram would only go up to 320. Now it does easy 345, starts artifacting at about 350. So i'd say my investemet was worth it, not to mention thats temps probably are way down too compared to the little stock fan that was on it before :attn: :D
where are these silencers availeble? i see people getting them, but i cant find them anywhere :s is this one of the downsides of me living in europe? :p
btw: awesome mod!

So all you basicly did was cut out that plastic piece and added a fan to the huge heat sink?
So all you basicly did was cut out that plastic piece and added a fan to the huge heat sink?
Did you figure this out by your self? never claimed this was one hard mod to
complete,Its simple and great cooling results with no noise.
When you start a thread with {So all you basicly did} I sence a bit of sarcasm
PLOBBY I used 6 inch by 1/4 hacksaw blade with some tape around the blade
remember that is a 6 inch blade 2 inches bigger than OBLIVIONLORDS winky ;)

tic01, which way does your fan spin? clockwise or count-clockwise...
Thank you very much!!!

Well, mine spins like this:
http://www3.telus.net/justinye/Temp/oddproblem.jpg
Pay attention to the fins...
Same way as you mentioned, but why I can't feel any hot air coming out of the back like I felt the VGA Silencer Rev 3...
and when I open my Case's side panel, I felt there is air coming at the bottom of the fan. Strange!!!
Thank you very much!!!
Computer Maniac :)
{xiaolanhua} If you have a ati silencer 4 your fan blades should look like in the pic I posted & spin clockwise, if fan blades are curved like in your diagram and spinning counter clockwise that is new to me. Double check some pics on the web, every pic I've looked at are the same as mine.
If is not the same take it back. BTW can you post a pic

well your fan is spinning the wrong way for the fins thats why your not feeling air coming out like its supposed to if you can pop off the fan blades and flip them over and see if that works it it aint possible then try and turn the power thingy around
That's totally normal, they MUST spin that way. Otherwise there won't be right circulation of air etc. :).
I've had exactly same question, I've mailed Arctic Silver Customer Support and they replied back that its how it's supposed to be ;).

tic01:
I can't see everything you did with the pic you took so im guess that all you did was cut out the plastic and add a fan. I didnt want to bring in the fact that a side pic of a video card only at one angle is going to answer alot of question which is why I said what I said. Geez
BTW... If you want to post pinkies Ill be more than glad to post my rod which is always going to be the largest !!! hehe

If that is how it suppost to be, how come i couldn't feel any air coming out of the back?
Would it be the fan is spinning too slow?
However I don't really care now, because:

By setting the fan control to "try to keep it @ 40 degree C"...

Tic, how much of a temperature difference are you getting with that second fan?

10-01-04, 01:00 PM
just installed my new ati silencer ver 4 idle temps down from 40 to 35 and doom 3 temps top out at 48, compared to 58 stock. and it cost me new about 15$ which is about 200 kronor here in sweden. I orderd it yesterday got it today.
Tic, how much of a temperature difference are you getting with that second fan?
Stock cooling 72 c load, installed the ati cooler it went down to 62c 64c load , stuck that fan on and done under 50c temps are taken by ati tool and
one temperature probe located on the base heatsink which reads 2 degrees
lower than ati tool
So I cant see how bigswede2 is getting his temp that low.
Update unplugged the rackmount fan played doom3 for 30 mins temps shot
up to 64c

Any particular brand/model you used as well?

10-03-04, 03:34 AM
Tic01 I think it has to do with how your pc looks like on the inside have you lots of cables stoping the air flow ? or is it clear , how many fans do you have sucking in blowing out etc!!! my pc has been on solidly for 2 days abd the idle temp is still 35c when i play doom3 the temps max out at 48c posts some pics of the inside of your case so we can see because your teps are to high.
Just played the Doom 3 demo and highest temp registered on the ATiTool log was 53.5C. Settings using Omega 8.07 Beta's: 6xT3 AA, 16x AF, A.I. on high, 1280x1024, High quality setting.
I got to say the game is looking pretty good on an X800Pro. :cool:
bigswede2: Maxing out at 48C is really good. What kind of cooling do you have going?
OT: Anyone know what 6xT3 for the Omega drivers mean?
xiaolanhua
10-04-04, 04:13 AM
6xT3 = 6AA x 3, therefore it is like 18AA...
I don't use that it makes my screen flicker alot...

I've got a ati silencer ver 4 with 3 arctic cooling fans sucking in and 3 sucking out, I'd like to add that 48c is when I exit doom3 so while playing the game it is probably a little higher.

bigswede2 when your playing doom stop at a computer scene or in a control room where there is alot going on the game computer screens, stay there for about 10 to 15 min and watch your temp climb this is where I have been taking my temps and for fans 4 blowing in 3 exiting out mobo is allways around
28 30c.How are you getting your temp readings ati tool ? temp reading on the right or left of ati tool window

Dude I just realized in this thread you typed {compared to 58 stock} on load
If my stock cooler was getting 58c I wouldn't have changed it
everybody else on stock is close or over 70c on load
Bigswede2 your temperature sensor is probably faulty

I think your fans are fighting each other.....
with my silencer with no mods I get 32c idle and 47c load.....
at 540/540 on this x800...
runing idle 24c only artic silver 5 oc like it says in the sig
Elviscerator how are you taking a load test? stock temp ? and playing online I wouldn't count that as a load test considering mine says 43c while playing online.
If you are using ati tool are you taking in effect the time it takes to exit out from one program to another
the air exiting out of the cooler is 3 times greater than before.
btw I dont believe the ati silencer 4 cooler is rated for what you stated in temps
runing idle 24c only artic silver 5 oc like it says in the sig

i dont care what you say, runing doom3 i gets 38c max
i have a hi vent case and its only whith the rev4 becouse me and my friend havent finished are cascade system, iam gona post some pics and screns 4 you all non belevers
Hey, your room temp must be pretty low to get that idle. It's an awesome idle temperature though. Good job on that.
I for one have gotten the lowest idle at 30C after running the computer a while. As the room temps get lower, this temperature should lower as well. My load temps after Doom 3 are about 53.5C. ATiTool running I think it gets up to 56C. I happy with these temps especially in a Sonata~ :)
It seems though that some guys aren't checking their log on their temps and only going by what they see after exiting the game. This may not be true though.

maybe while your at it use some thermal tape and tape a probe as close as you can to the chipset so it is touching the side and compare both , because one is out.
and your right I am a non believer
insted off using ati tool use the new rivatuner
Welp just got my sliencer 4 today as well, pc has been runnin for about 45 minutes now and my idle temps are 32C instead of the 40 i used to get.
Load temps after playing UT2k4 are 46C instead of my usual 56-60C with stock fan. I had ATI tool fan settings cranked up pretty good to get it that cool too, where as now the silence 4 is probably less than 50%. :thup:
Temps were taken with ATI tool, and yes i exited the game to see my temp, but i fail to see how a 1-2 second lag is going to make that big a difference in temps....even if it does who cares, my temps have still dropped 10-15 degrees either way because the readings i took before with stock fan were after exiting the game as well :p

It does take a little bit of time for the gpu to cool down so your temps are pretty accurate, sounds like a good investment to me.
Heres where I have a problem hundreds of threads, guys posting load temps over 70c all the way to 80c on x800 pros & x800 xt stock coolers so why would there be some who post there stock temp on load was 52 to 56 and yet they are the same vid cards .(that is a difference 20c to 25c which is alot)
Is ati tool giving a different reading than rivatunner??
I know for a fact that my temp is correct with using ati tool with a probe touching the chipset. So why the different readings
Does anybody have a link to ati news artical stating what stock temps should be on the x800pro x800xt, or if any one who stated these low stock temps are you using a temp probe to compare ..
Well I find sometimes when I exit games and check the temp, especially with the ATi4 on, the temp drops pretty quick, almost in tens. So the only accurate way would be to check the ATiTool log, or yeah Rivatuner. They should show the same temperature shouldn't they?

Dude did u not read my post, I used ATI tool's fan control feature to jack my fan speed way up as soon as it went over 40C, I would be willing to bet anything that the goofballs getting temps of 70&80C aren't increasing their fan speed...simple as that. :clap:
I did that too. Lowest temp I got was like 64C... I guess my air flow just sucks then :cry: :rolleyes:
Now that it's winter though, I may be able to get some better temps but that 64 was like 3 weeks ago with the window of my room open. But now that it almost hits zero some nights, I'm sure the temp can drop at least 5-8C.
Well you've got your core OC'd to 540 also, where as mine is at stock 520, and yes you've got a smaller case so not as good air flow
I had my stock fan at 100 percent and still managed hit over 74 c in doom, Man in this forum you some guys stating some outragreous temps before and after installing ati silencer 4 ,As I said before are you sure the silencer is rated for what temps have been stated
Nah, with the stock fan, I hadn't done the v-mod yet. My card would max out at 513/528. But after just using the card for a while, the o/c went up by a little bit but not by much.
After the vmod and ATi4, my clocks went up quite a bit. I'm giving my friend some cash and a trade for a Sapphire Vivo now though. Nice to have a second chance at getting a video card. Hope that flashes fine. :)
Maybe it wasn't quite 64...avg maybe about 66. This is running ATiTool's find max as that's the only thing that seems to stress my card to the max (gives me the highest temp I get in anything).
But yeah I'm kind of with tic on this one. I don't really believe that such a low temp can be achieved unless the ambient temps were really low. Plus how fast the fan speed was set to affects this as well. I wouldn't count their results as false though. But I want to know how they can get such good temps with the stock fan.
well maybe its your card then, is it OC'd like spyd3r's?
I know my temps are correct, they were higher before i found the fan settings in the newer ati tool, after using that i rarely got to 60C.
Now i'm not even hitting 50C
As for ambient temps, my pc has been runnin for hours now and my case temp is 27C so yeah it's nice and cool in there...
I got to add though that 74C with the fan on at 100% doesn't sound quite right either.

This member hitting 82C, are you sure that he's using ATiTool with the fan on 100%? Plus he's open his pipes plus with the Australian summer, it's not surprising he's hitting 82C. Just the additional heat from the open pipes would probably be enough to raise his temps the additional couple of degrees.
Without my fan on at 100%, I was hitting 76C sometimes. So his temps sound normal...but with the fan at 100%, it wouldn't go past maybe about 66C. I'll test it with the Sapphire I'm getting soon. Till then I'm outt. Don't really want to argue about temps anymore.
BTW, I'm not calling anyone liars, and if it seems that way, I'm sorry. I am not looking to cause any trouble here... :eh?:
