ATI Radeon 9600xt Cooler

[maxxpehling]

Hello, I don't think I really super need this but I figured what the heck. I have a ATI Radeon 9600xt, not saphire or anything, it has the default cooler on it atm. will this cooler give me a noticable temerature drop?

Thanks for any help in advance! by the way, its 10:26 PST and I'd kind of like to know by 11:30 so I can order it tonight, sorry for posting so late.

Don't buy that, it's not going to make any diff in temps.. Buy the Arctic Silencer 2 or Zalman VF700

Get the Arctic Silencer 2, cools the GPU and RAMchips very well... you don't need anymore than that.

Will these easily fit onto a x800 gto2?

get an AC silencer 2 or a AC VGA silencer which is a monster btw.

the Zalman VF-700cu or AlCu is very good. IMO, better than all the AC designs.

If you want to go the extra mile, you can try and custom mount an old stock heatsink. If you go to the vidoe and sound section there should be a sticky there for modded videocards.

The ATI Silencer 2 is on sale at SVC for $9.99. I got one on my 9600XT. I got about a 10c drop in temps and I can't even hear the fan. Just be warned it does take up an extra PCI slot and it is about and inch or two longer than your video card.

The AS2 is for the 9600xt only... for the gto2 get the AS5...

Or you can get the Zalman VF700 which fits just about any card out today.
