I prefer the Rev. 2 since it has the dual replacement bracket, instead of the single add on.

hi all.
im thinking of just getting rev.3 instead of waiting for rev.4 to come out.
do i need to get some AC5 for it or is the thermal paste that comes with the VGA silencer is good enough?
thanks , ledzep.

edit : looks like rev.3 is out of stock where im at , but rev.4 should be around here in about a week
this is how it looks like

I'd get the arctic silver if I were you. I havent found anything quite as good yet.

Oh btw...I suggest a custom HSF mod. Mine was beautiful. And the only down side is the blocked PCI slots

Meh...PCI slots...who needs em?

I take it that you have a stock cooler? It is hard to say with the Rev. 4.....as it isn't on the market yet. With the Rev. 2 & 3 you should be able to get "at least" 420/350 though some people are able to get MUCH more On the topic of what to use.......for graphics cards on air cooling.....use Artic Silver Ceramique'.....it is the safest and easiest to use......less mess.....and cools just as good and the AS5.

besides the VGA silencer series VGA coolers, is there anything out there that only uses up the AGP slot like the stock cooling does? ATI cards are nice for their space saving abilities.
