I'd like to know if anyone here knows the difference between the sammy 226BW and sammy 226NW. the BW is listed as $350 CAD at futureshop and the NW is on sale for $330 (reg. $370). I know price isn't always an indicator of quality, but is the NW any different than the BW? I was also looking at...

alright... i'll just have to live with it.... I just find it odd that there are people with the same cards who can OC a lot better than mine. A LOT BETTER.

Yes it was the ATI silencer 1 rev 2 and it was very easy to install. if you go to the arctic cooling website, this model was the only one listed as compatible with the AIW. I am using ver. 6.3 catalyst drivers. still no luck in the overclock. Do you have to increase the voltage supplied to ur...

Ok guys, I just got my ati silencer rev. 2 installed on my x800 and it still doesn't over clock by much. its only at 505/516 which isn't much at all. I was told that this could have something to do with bios version and stuff... could this be?

ok thanks guys. i'll wait for my fan from ncix which is on backorder now. I'll let you know how much I can oc it. THANKS.

is overiding the fan speed to 100% bad for the card? My old 9800 pro's fan burnt off one time and I wasnt overclocking it. should I wait till my Arctic cooling fan comes in before trying to overclock?

thanks for your reply. Does anyone think if I get a good fan, I would be able to overclock a lil more?

Hey there. Just wondering if this card is able to be overclocked just a little bit. when I try to use ATITool, it doesn't go any further than 501 (500 default). When I read up on reviews, some people have oc'ed the core and mem. up to 550/570 with stock cooling. Do I need to tweak something...
