ATI AIW 9800 Pro Fan/Cooling Replacement Options Needed...

[Zim Hosein]

The fan on my ATI AIW 9800 Pro is dying and I need either a replacement fan or a complete cooling replacement. I know the 1st thing people will suggest is AC, but on their website, I don't see my AIW card listed as compatible. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :beer:

If you have an AIW 9800, then the VGA Silencer Rev.3 is the one for your card. It can be found here for $13.50. It's not bad. I have one. But, I use it on a CPU now.

how did you get it to fit on your cpu?
I have the same cooler (VGA Silencer Revision 3) on my 9800pro. nice cooler. great price.

a better solution(cools better) is the vf700 from zalman, but some people have problems installing it with some slearance issues(it's really really big.) it cools better and has ramsinks though for a higher price.

There are many variations,
a red colored one, dubbed the fata1ty(zalman vf700cu with red paint)
a led version(cu and alcu)
and the normal versions(cu and alcu)
http://www.zalmanusa.com/

they all come with ramsinks and the alcu ones are part aluminum and part copper. the cu ones are full copper.

pri9ces range from $25.99 for the cu version to $49.99 for the fata1ty version.

the advantage of the vf700 si that yuo can also switch it to a future card when you upgrade(it fits most video cards on the market, unlike the artic silencer.

Long story short. Thread here. I haven't actually compeleted it. But, it's been tested by me in theory on a Pentium II.
