Which ATI Silencer?

[DarkKnight84]

I am confused as to which Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer verison I need to purchase for my video card. My video card is the Asus Radeon 9800 PRO 256mb. When the current heatsink is removed, it is identical to the card pictured below:

I realize it's an old card, but I figured it might be worth an upgrade to XT. Also, the fans on the stock HSF that came with it seemed to have.. I want to say, melted.. into a rather deformed shape, and so I can't really use the video card without it hitting ridiculous temperatures.

Anyways, if you guys could help me figure out which version I need, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think you need the ATI SILENCER 1 REV. 2. Here is a link.. I don't know if this is a good price or not. LINK

What you need (i think) is This ATI Silencer (which is different from the one in above post)

Now I THINK that it will work since the 9800 Pro 256mb and the 9800XT have basically the same board layout. At least the last model says it was compatible with both of them (the one that I have).

The Silencer 3 rev.2 is only $19.

But, The VGA Silencer 3 also works on them as well. Not copper of course like the ATi Silencer 3. But it's only $9.99

I'm still confused as to whether I would need the ATI Silencer 3 Rev 2 or just the ATI Silencer 3. Is there a difference in this case?

Get the ATI Silencer 3 Rev 2 for ease of installation and almost garunteed fit.
