Awesome. My Ti200 fan died recently and the 80mm panaflo I have rubberbanded to the card isn't satisfying me. 😱

Does this fan support rpm-monitoring and does it have a standard 3-pin connector?
 
I've had mine a week now and love it.

Correct on the compatibility list, and frankly I bought a 9800 simply so that I could use this cooler.

I notcied while installing it that the heatsink itself (which is quite large) is simply tapped with a pair of screw holes. It might be possible for a handyman to drill and tap new holes for it to fit any one of a variety of other cards...
 
Picked one up. Love it so far. Old O/C w original hs/f was 350 core, now at 400 core. This is a hard modded 9500np. It's quiet at both speeds. Now I want 2 more for my other hard modded 9500np's.

Sweet, I gotta try and push my softmodded 9500 more. It's only at 9700 pro speeds 325/310
 
All mobo's have the same setup as far as the distance the PCI and AGP ports are? there wouldnt be any mobo compatibility issues would there?
 
just attatched mine. I was scared as hell, since I'm horrible at things like this, but I was comforted knowing that I was still within the time period for returns at BB, and my morals don't allow me to eat up $200 right now 🙂

Anyways I guess I'm going to let the thermal paste settle for a day or two then crank it up
 
So you guys ordered from xoxide and already received the cooler? I ordered Monday and have yet to get an e-mail with a tracking #....also, I have called Xoxide's customer support # 4 times. First time I called got to a mailbox and left a message with my phone # for callback. NEVER got a callback.....the other 3 tiems i've called I get to a message saying "this mailbox is full please try again later"....I'm feeling really pi$#ed off right now cause no one will return my call or my e-mails.

YES. Very hot deal indeed. If I wasn't running an SFF, I'd be all over this!
 
Got mine today and installed it on my Powercolor 9800 Pro. I used Arctic Silver 5 instead of the included TIM. Will begin Operation Overclock in a few days after letting it settle in.
 
I just installed it on my leadtek ti200. The chip edge temperature dropped to 27C from 55C but the chip surface temperature is still the same at 58C. Anyone know what the chip surface temperature is? The new heatsink doesn't cover the RAM. Is that why?

Have you tried emailing them? I've only ordered from xoxide once before, but they responded to both my emails, each well within one day.
 
Only got 10mhz increase on the core...might be user error, but I doubt it. Will try again after the TIM has settled.
 
So, I have to assume that adding this breaks the warranty with ATI... do the makers of this cooler have a warranty on your card if you use their product?
