Is This Worth It?

My stock fan that is on my graphics card at the moment (x850 XT PE) is very loud. It sounds like a jet engine at startup and is also loud during gameplay. It also doesn't cool very well since it gets almost to 80 C in a cool room during the winter during full load. Overclocking is a big no no right now because it gets hot with even a minor overclock and then crashes once it gets over 80 C. I have heard good reviews about the Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 5 and would like to overclock it after I install it. Is it worth the money?

Its only $30 with free shipping on:

Best price I could find on the net ... even cheaper than newegg.

Thanks

 

Yes, i think that will replace your loud rackety fan... just make sure it supports your card..

edit: looking at it again, it does support your card. go for it...

 

Sweet ... sounds good to me. Was gonna go for the new Zalman 900 HSF ... but I read some reviews on it ... and it's not all that great ... plus over $40. The ATI Silencer 5 cooler seems like the one thats right for me

 

yeah, sometimes its better to stay with the same company. like your ATI card and the ATI fan... (the word ATI is written on the thing, so you know it is made especially for ATI...)

 

K ... I'm gonna order it whenever I get parental approval. Hope it works. ^_^

 

Its deffinatly worth it, itz only 30 bucks and its good enough

 

Yup. I like the look of it. I would get it if i had that same card and had the same problem.

 

Man ... I asked my parents and they said that they will talk with me about it on Monday or Tuesday ... <_<

 

buy it iy has nice specs
