Hey,

Just looking at the Arctic Cooling series for an X800 XL in my HTPC. Wanting something that has an exhaust on it (rather than Zalman/Accelero) because the HTPC only exhausts through the PSU at the moment!

What exactly is the difference between the ATi 4 and ATi 5? They seem exactly the same to me! And how audible is it at full speed? It is quoted as 0.5 sone but I'm not exactly sure how that translates in real life...

Cheers,

Suman
 
the ATI4 is for X800pro/xt series of cards while the ATI5 cooler is for x800XL/GT's and X850cards, i have the ati4 on my x800pro and can vouch for it being near silent and all fan speeds and keeps my card<50deg so yours should run cooler being an x800xl

one thing to note though is the amount of dust that gets into the cooler which can be difficult to clean
