Hello...
I'm in some trouble here, I was wondering if any of you could help me out please, as these forums have proved to be very helpful before.
Today, I received my 9800Pro Artic Cooling VGA Silencer (Rev. 3). It looks awesome, and I've heard good reviews about it. I've overclocked my 9800Pro a bit on stock cooling, so I bought this to cool my card down and maybe overclock some more, if I can.
So I removed my stock HSF and applied AS5, instead of the thermal paste that came with the silencer. I applied it exactly the way it said in the manual, so that went well. However, when I tried to align the holes of my card and the silencer, it was off. No matter how much I tried, I couldnt get the holes to align. I even tried to force the screws in... I can only get one screw in on either side with the other side being unaligned. I did this, with just one screw, and fired up the card...my computer kept messing up so I said screw it.
I put my stock HSF in back again, and now my silencer is just sitting here.
My question is: How do I fix this? There must be some way to align the stupid thing with the card...I've been trying for so long and now I'm frustrated...
Any help/input would be appreciated, thanks.
