ATI Silencer 2 Owners

hibner · 01-03-05, 02:13 PM

I just ordered a new ATI Silencer 2 for my ABIT RADEON 9600XT Video Card, 256MB DDR, with VIVO. My question is can I use ram sinks on this card with that cooler? I hope the VIVO part doesn't interfere with the fit.

Thx

I have the Arctic Silencer 2 but I never used it because I fried my 9600xt before the Arctic Silencer got here.

I did open it up and the way it fits on the card, you cannot have mem sinks because you have the silencer attatched to a flat piece which covers the GPU and memory on the front, and then on the back you just have a panel that acts as support and acts as a heatsink for the back side of memory modules. It kinda sandwiches the card between the two pieces of the Silencer.
