Cooling Which VGA cooler?

Im looking for a nice VGA cooler for my radeon 9600 pro. I'd like to buy it from Xoxide since I have a gift certificate there.

Thanks for the help!

 

Arctic VGA silencer, review in the reviews section, or a Zalman ZM80C-HP + ZMOP1, review here also.




Cheers,
Mike

 

If you are planning on o/cing your gfx card get the artic cooler theyre cheap as well but if its silence you want get a zalman theyre good but not if you want to o/c.Ive used both on my 9800 pro and i prefer the arctic cooler vga silencer but you do lose a pci slot with it !!!

 

afaik it wont fit his card.

is this the arctic one you guys are talking about? Are you saying that it will or will not fit on my 9600?

THanks alot for the help.

 

Yes thats it you need a Rev 3 of the cooler for it to fit aparently

this threads a bit old now, BUT if your still intrested, i bought a Rev 1 artic cooler today for £10, and it fits my Sapphire 9600pro PERFECT, dont need to mod it or anything, on the back of the box it even says it fits 9600pro....

 

nice! thanks dude, but ive decided to get the rev 3 from www.svc.com,they have it for 15 usd.

 

I would suspect its a Rev 3 then, look at the chart here http://www.ocfaq.com/reviews/ArcticCooling/VGASilencer_Rev3/

well its the same as this one http://www.ocfaq.com/reviews/ArcticCooling/VGASilencer_Rev3/images/back1_small.jpg which is the rev 1, and it doesn't have rev 3 on the cooler or the box . so mine is a Rev1, ive heard of loadsa people using Rev1s on there 9600pros.
