Yeah, I would support the Silencer. I have it myself, only cost $20.00 on NEWEGG, and had it in 2 days with normal shipping. It was a snap to install on my Sapphire X800GTO, and I don't generally go above 60-63 degrees on full load of BF2, Fear, Half-Life2. It's been working solid for a month so...

I've got the R430 and installed the ATI silencer 5 about two weeks ago. So far everything is OK, not great. I have ATI tool Fan Control set at "Try to keep temp. at 35". I fell asleep with my system on last night and it is currently idling at 36 with fan speed at 60%. On full load BF2, I usually...

boise, I do have the R430 core. I also have not unlocked it yet. What kind of overclock do you think I can achieve with 16 pipes versus 12?

I also have the X800GTO by Sapphire. I also bought the ATI silencer 5 and just installed it. While I am happy with the temps under full load, I am having trouble overclocking it with ATItool ver. 0.24. My core can't get above 460 without crashing and that just doesn't seem right. Any suggestions??

Is the BIOS the exact same for any Sapphire X800 GTO? If so, can I simply download a modded bios that was already posted or do I still have to post my bios?

current status Played some FEAR earlier and my son played Some Return of the King, on default settings (399, 489) and FEAR ran fine but LOTR crashed once. Idling now @ 47.

Hey everyone, Bought a Sapphire X800 GTO about a month ago, loaded ATI tool and overclocked to Core= 427.50, Mem= 542.25. It idled at about 34 or 35 degrees, but now is idling at 43 degrees and my system crashed once today playing COD2, so I dropped to default setting. Has anyone else had...

Sweeper- do you have your benchmarks at 12 pipes??

I also have the Saphhire X800 GTO and am testing it and benchmarking it right now. I've had the core at 426 and the mem at 528 and has been running stable. I'm now trying to raise those numbers a bit and will max out tonight and see what happens. I also have the r430 chip but haven't unlocked...
