BFG GF 6800 OC and NV Silencer 5

[Megatomic]

Has anyone installed an NV Silencer 5 on a BFG 6800 OC yet? If you have, how did it work out? Is the Silencer drastically quieter than the stock cooler? How about the temps? Was it straight forward to get it on? I put a VGA Silencer v3 on my 9800 Pro and it was a breeze to do, I think it should be the same for the 6800 but you never know, right? 🙂

Thanks for any info you can share here.

I put a NV5 silencer on my XFX 6800gt. I love it. Installation was pretty easy, and it is much quieter. Helped my temps out quite a bit too. If you do a search for nv5 you can probably find my review thread.

I did search before I posted this, I can't find any threads were someone put an NV5 onto a BFG 6800 OC (not GT, not Ultra). I did love the VGA Silencer on my old 9800 Pro, I am hoping for the same level of results if I get an NV5.

And to curtail the inevitable, yes I know it voids the warranty to put an aftermarket heatsink on this card.
