Probably the best cooler for the 9800 Pro would have to be the Actric Cooling VGA Silencer.

Ok I ordered a Actric Cooling VGA Silencer Revision 3 for 13.99 hope this helps out on my card

btw im not doing any overclocking I dont no much about it! But I am interested to see if I have a R360 under that stock heatsink!

The vga silencer is not compatible with AIW cards, cancel that order asap.

This is WRONG, the new Rev .3 IS compatible with the AIW card, check the site...

MajestacaL · Aug 7, 2004, 10:06 PM

How much do you think I can overclock my ATI AIW 9800 Pro to with the Revision 3 Artic Cooler installed on it? Currently my stock settings are

Core
378.00

Memory
337.50

Thanks for all the help I will be getting the cooler tomorrow in the mail

i can oc my BBA 9800PRO to 440/370 with the new ATI silencer 1 + extra ramsinks

just overclock in 5 mhz increments. i usually am very impatient and will oc to a level that i know is safe and work from there. oc's work very well when done at safe speeds. sometimes, though, they are unstable in games.

btw, what IS the difference between rev. 1 and 2 and 3, besides the fact that they all support different video cards? i dont think there is any performance or visual tweaks to my knowledge.
