Monday my ATI 9600XT will be here. I ordered a Iceberq 4 vga cooler for it. Should I use arctic silver 5 or arctic alumina when I install the Iceberq 4? Or should I just keep the stock HSF on the card. I'm going to OC the card. What kind of 3dmark01 scores should i see with it.

Thanks for your help


P4 2.8E w\Zalman CNPS7000- AICu, 512mb (2x256) Corsair XMS 3200, ATI 9200 with Vantec Iceberq, 2-WD80GB 7200 RPM 8mb cache, Antec SmartBlue 350w PS, Antec Superlanboy case, SoundBlaster Live 5.1
 
Definitly Install the cooler if you're going to OC it and use some AS5 also.

You should be able to come close to 15k in 01
 
I would have gotten a VGA/ATI Silencer instead of the Iceberq.

See if you can return the Iceberq and get the VGA Silencer instead. Quieter and cools better.
