ok i bought the ati silencer 4, it says "works with x800 series", well the x800 platinum's set up is a bit different. instead of having 1 screw and a snap off thing it has 3 screws, and those screws wont move. u could turn with all your might they wont move at all, its like ATI made it so u cant install new fans on your card? is this so?

I'm sure you can get them off, have you looked at both the front and the back.

Please givemore info on the setup of the card

i have no idea how else to explain it... i did it with my xt 9800 with a ati silencer 3 with no problems, there are no screws and it looks like the screws on the back arnt turnable, like they r permently installed so you cant take them off

the screws may have been riveted, you need to get a screwdriver and watchmakers hammer and tap the underside of the screw, doing this with a VC though is risky because VCs are so delicate, thats your only option though to get the screws out if they are indeed riveted.

.........and no, drilling the screws is not a good idea with a VCs life at stake.
