NV silencer 5 recall

[2cool4u]

Anyone know anything about this recall that I just saw on www.coolerguys.com? I was just about to buy one for my new 6800nu. Any other suggestions as to what to buy?

Yea, I noticed that. Still, get it. its only defective for 7800's. Even then its easily fixable.

What is the recall for, the wire issue or the lack of decent way to mount the rear RAM spreader?

That's too bad. Those silencers are golden. I would always use them for my high end cards to replace stock cooler.

I was also going to buy this for my 6800 GT. Whats the difference between rev. 2 and 3 besides the support for the 7800 series?

rev3 = rev2 + extra wiring and RAM backplate

Damn, I was looking to get one when they're out in the UK.
At least this way hopefully when they are out they'll work properly.

Nice... Those are the two things that suck about the Rev. 3. Anybody ever find out what the recall was for? Was it the wiring..? Were cards getting fried because the fan doesn't come on when the wires are crossed?

not sure, get it anyway. what card do you have?
