ATI Silencer 4 (Rev.2)

Spectral · 10 Feb 2007 at 11:37

I just bought the Arctic Cooling ATI 4 Rev.2 (X800 Series) VGA Silencer. However on the packaging it says Compatibe with: ATI X800 (Pro,XT,PE,AIW). However I have a X800XL, will the card still fit or have I just bought an expensive paper weight? The product description didn't mention the XL one way or the other. Your help would be greatly appreciated, I dont want to try fitting it if it wont work. If it wont fit does anyone know if overclockers would take it back if its still sealed?

Looking at this graph it suggests not (click to enlarge):

Return it and get the ATI 5, i cant see overclockers saying no to letting you return it if it hasnt been opened, should be just a straight swap but i guess you'l have to pay for delivery and more if the price is different

Its a X800XL PCIE. Just checked in Everest and it is a R430. I just hope OCuk will take it back. The product description should really say that it doesn't work with the XL.

You may have to return it and get a refund, and then pay for the new one as a totally different order. Good choice in cooler though - nice and silent!

Just contacted support and arranged to return for a refund. Thanks for your help.
