Folks,
I would like to warn everybody regarding the poor quality of the fans on Arctic silencer. About a month ago, the fan on my x800xl died (Gnerma, who I bought it from, was nice enough to offer a replacement..props to you my friend ). Today, the fan on the NV Silencer completely broke off the bearing shaft.
I'm shocked by the flimsy brittle quality of the plastic. Looks like it will shatter if dropped! I for one am swearing off all Arctic Cooling products (not that I had a choice, as both cards were purchased used). This is very frustrating.
On the bright side, the TR-V1 on my other 6800GT is kicking ***! A world of difference betwixt the two products.
Just a heads up for anybody considering an aftermarket cooler.
