br3n Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Ive got a fairly old but perfectly working saphire 9800xt pro (the 256mb edition) The problem is the fans on the way out, sometimes stalls or makes a pretty bad noise.I want to replace it asap and have been looking at third party VGA cooling fans (zalman etc) but have no idea if theyre card specific etc and need some help.Can someone find me something to get? Ive taken the existing cooling unit apart, tried to fix the fan etc but replacing the fan alone doesnt seam to be an option. Help me please!

Token Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 You'll want this one.Arctic Cooling Silencer 3 rev 2. That fits the 9800 series cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 An Arctic ATI Silencer 3 is what you need. Will have a look for one, edit in a min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3n Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 thats got no info about it? :/found this.. http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/328477/zalman-vf9...vga-cooler.htmlsays it works on ATI Radeon 9*** Series (except 9550/9600) but looks a bit, odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Bit dear really unless you have it oced a bit and need the extra cooling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 You any good at reading German? LinkThe Silencer 3 rev 2 is for the 9800XT's. The other revisions wont fit as their designed for different size cards like the Pro an Se models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydon_peter Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 You'll want this one.Arctic Cooling Silencer 3 rev 2. That fits the 9800 series cards.I have the similar version of that on a 9800le card, its all good I expect the Arctic cooling system would work better that the Zalman your linking to simply because its directing the air out of the case through a vent... (Note my fairly limited knowledge when it comes to stuff like this though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 an the fact the Zalman won't come with any Heatsinks for the Ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
