[AgentUnknown]

What's the best and cheapest?

Might be the wrong forum, but I would like to hear an answer, to your question.

I use a VGA Silencer... but this thread will be locked soon.

4th item down the page, on sale for $9.99. Places have been clearing these out for the newer ATI/NV silencers. The Rev 3 should work great with the 9800Pro 128MB - not sure on the 256MB version because it's laid out like the 9800XT I think, which has a clearance issue with the Rev 3.

I have an older Rev 2 on a 9800 Pro 128MB and it cools the card very well, along with lowering case temps as a bonus.

WRONG! 😉 GH is polluted with too many non-general threads.

It's called Video 🙂

Oh, & AgentUnknown, he's not being a prick.

This belongs in Video 🙂

Bullhonkie thanks for the link, I ordered one.

$16.06 shipped not bad.

The VGA Silencer 😉 is great. It's quiet, and it actually exhausts the heat from the VGA 😉 card out the back of the system, instead of dumping it within.

How about the stock cooler? Works great on mine.

Stock cooler is fine for mild overclocking, I crank it way up.😀

warranty goes bye-bye... I learned the hard way..

Just save the old cooler and put in back on, just a thought.


BTW I have never had a vid card or proc die due to OCing, you going to say how do I know it was not the OCing that killed it, I can say to that, I have never had a vid card or proc die EVER and I have run 1000mhz OCs on procs.😀
