2 bad there so freakin huge that they don't fit into my barebone!

Sep 1, 2004, 12:29 AM

At newegg.com they are $30, which seems a bit expensive for an ATI cooler1, on the companys website the suggested retail price is $22
Newegg seems to overprice their cooling stuff

pablofrogo · Sep 1, 2004, 10:21 PM

At least newegg have them in... UK stores only have the ATI 4

guess I'll just have to wait for the ATI 3...

sersalpha · Sep 2, 2004, 02:46 AM

They seem to be hovering around $30 at most major web retailers. The lowest I've seen is $24.95

Which one do you think would work with a powercolor 9550? Heres a shot of the card:

I believe the #1 is the one that will fit that card

pablofrogo · Sep 11, 2004, 09:32 PM

Is this review gonna come anytime soon?

W1zzard · Sep 12, 2004, 01:57 AM

i'm working on the zalman zm-80d review at the moment.. got set back by a week by the world of warcraft stress test

i also emailed arctic cooling about the 9550

mustrum · Sep 12, 2004, 09:12 AM

Nice reviews.
I'll add my impressions about the ATI Silencer 4.
I bought it to do a volt mod. I don'T see a reason for this äheatsink when you run a card at stock clocks since it'S not too loud and cool enough.
When i did a voltmod to 1.48 volts my stock HS wet up to 85 degrees wich was much too high for my liking. ATITool with fan control wasn't released back then.
I bought the ATI Silencer 4 and used AS5 and got a load temperature of 65 degrees or 59 @100% fanspeed at same clocks and voltage!!! I must add that i reaplied my stock HS and used AS5 so the 85 degrees weren't because of a bad mounted HS + thermalpad.
People report only small differences after the installation but it seems they either do it wrong or they compare at stck speeds where the stock HS is not too bad.

I can highly recommend the ATI Silencer 4 to overclockers and people who want to di a volt mod.

which one is for the 9600XT 256 if i want ramsinks?

pablofrogo · Sep 14, 2004, 03:33 PM

ATI silencer 2 is the one that covers RAM on the 9600XT.

Ramine · Sep 15, 2004, 05:56 PM

The Rage · Dec 17, 2004, 03:49 AM

u can get 8 pure copper heat sinks at newegg for $7 or u could find a piece of copper and drill holes in it

Yea, I've got a 9550, wot should I use?? Is 1 the best option?

SanderV · Feb 20, 2005, 03:35 PM

Is an ATI Silencer really worth the money? I think I'll get problems with installing. Is it difficult to install a Silencer? I have a Hercules 9700 Pro 128MB.

Christer · Feb 20, 2005, 08:07 PM

I can recommend the ATI Silencer for my X800Pro. The temps are around 20degC lower(!) and the Silencer is quieter at 100% than the stock at 30%.....at least to my ear....easy to install, although I had to move oneof the HD,s to a lower slot because of the size of the thing....but no probs!

SanderV · Feb 21, 2005, 01:48 PM

Hmmm, I'm afraid of destroying my card

soxsox · Jan 10, 2006, 07:43 AM
