i'm trying to install the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer Rev3 on my Gecube Radeon 9600XT.
the bracket on my card happen to have a bent edge (shown in pic 1. i'm too lazy to get my card out to take pics so pic 1 is actually showing the bracket of my cooler. the bracket on the card has a similar bent edge like that). my problem is shown in pic 2. pic 2 is exaggerated: the contact between the cooler and the GPU is not bad, but it just doesn't fit in the case when i install it back into the motherboard.
the VGA Silencer is rev3 so it doesn't have the "twin" bracket like rev2, and i don't have any access to metal cutting or bending tools... what should i do??
