will this fit on a radeon x850 xt? http://www.coolerguys.com/840556016557.html

Even if it did fit, I doubt it could disperse all the heat an X850XT puts out. I reccomend the VF-900Cu. It's quiet, it's easy to install, it's powerful, and it keeps things nice and cool

. And it's on sale.

i already own one though so... it would be sorta of a waste if i could transfer it over from my radeon 9800 pro to my x850xt

its possible, but forget the overclock

, and you probabily will need a fan at low rpm pointing at it

Get it wipped off and onto your X850, cheap as chips!

I would take ATI Silencer 5 rev.2 but not Zalman. The Zalman probably is very effective (I am using it on my CPU) but for the card which dissipates up to 75W is not good decision because it re-circulates the hot air inside the case. And finally the Zalman is more expensive.
