Default Cooling for ATI brand X800XL
I'm looking into some extra cooling for my [Built By] ATI X800XL because I'm thinking about OC'n it quite a bit and want to keep my temps down.(it currently sits between 40-44*C)

I don't want to spend more than $50, and I'd prefer air cooling but if its got a true advantage I'll settle for water (don't care about noise).



P.S. Links!!!!!

This for sure will do the trick if you can find one in stock anywhere. They usually run in the $25-30 range. This should also do the trick. It's not listed on either the compatible or incompatible list, but it does fit on just about any video card (my x800xt isn't listed either, but Zalman customer service verified it's compatible). Those are widely available and should be under $30. I hope that helps.

According to Arctic Cooling the Silencer 4 listed above is good for the x800se, pro, xt, and xt pe. The Silencer 5 fits the x800xl, and the Silencer 1 fits the x800xt AIW.

Anyway, if others have had success with the Silencer 4 on the XL, good deal. It would be nice if AC's site would reflect the true compatibility of their products.

One other thing, all I've heard about the ATI Silencers is to get the Revision 2 models or none at all; the Rev. 1s are supposed to have lots of problems. (not a direct comment to any post above, just a tidbit I remembered)
