9800xt Cooler

[casuals87]

I have a Saphhire Radeon Atlantis 9800XT gfx card but the fan died on it 2 days ago. I've been looking at the Arctic Cooling ATI 3 Rev.2 (9800XT) VGA Silencer, but i read somewhere that it is incompatible with this particular card. Something to do with the memory layout if im correct.

Anyway i've contacted Arctic Cooling and a few other places and no one has been able to give me a definate yes/no as to whether it will fit or not. Is there anyone around here that has tried with this card?

Also what other options do i have?


cheers

I have a Zalman ZM80D-HP on a broken 9800Pro which would be compatable. I guess you would need to get the optional fan pack or a fan over it somehow as I don't suppose you could passively cool an XT

I know some 9800 Pro's had different layouts but i thought the XT's were the same.
See if you can just get a fan to blow over the HS after removing the fan from the HS, 80mm for instance.
