Viable cooling for X800XT AIW? - Overclock.net

Solarium · 08-18-06

Hi all, just bought an ATI X800XT AIW from one of those ATI trade-up programs. I was wondering which is the best cooling for it, since I want to overclock to at least XT PE speeds (so far I can only go up to 518/522 without any artifacts).

I've checked out both the Zalman VF700 and Arctic Silencer for ATI, but both sites does not say that the cooler is compatible with the AGP version of X800XT AIW. Any ideas if they are?

Thanks all in advance, and any input is greatly appreciated!

I would not know but those a probably some of the best you can get. If not you can always get an Artic Silencer.

The major problem I have is the compatibility. I'm not sure whether they are compatible with the AGP version of X800XT AIW.

I checked the Zalman website and its not on the compatible list of VGA cards and neither is it on the incompatible.

Solarium · 08-18-06

Yeah, that's what I got too

Perhaps I should call them up tomorrow to see. I can't decide between the 2 though, the arctic silencer has the fan blowing out of the case thing, and the zalman has the silence mode. Both has their good points. Any site that has a comparison of the 2?

Just checked, Arctic Silencer ATI4 isnt' compatible with any AIW cards

How's the Zalman's compatibility? Sytrin KuFormula VF1 Plus is a nice card I found, but it's 40 bucks shipped on newegg... sigh if only the Silencer works then I could have had it for only 10 bucks on SVC

ARCTIC COOLING AVC-AT1 Rev. 2 72mm ARCTIC Ceramic Bearing Cooling Fan for VGA - Retail at Newegg.com
what about this one?

Hmm somehow the AT1 supports the X800 AIW instead of the AT4, doesn't even make sense. I dunno how the AT1 compares to the AT4 in terms of cooling though 8/

AT1 cools (much IMO) worse because it does not offer as good of the ram cooling. Just look at the backside of the two.

Has anyone confirmed whether the Zalman vf700 or 900 works with X800XT AIW? The price between the Zalman and the Silencer is almost negligible, and the Sytrin is a little too high for me.
