Best quiet cooling for ATI x800GT?

[toris]

Hey,

I'm new here -- I found your forum via ADSLguide, I've been looking for somewhere to bug PC enthusiasts with questions for a while, so looks like I'm in luck

So, as the topic says, I'm looking for a really quiet cooling solution for my x800GT, I've been considering water cooling for my whole PC, but I'm a bit paranoid about leaving my PC alone for long periods with water flowing through it (especially after the seals broke on my mates pc and he came home to a pc with enough water in it to fill a fish tank !_!) -- soo, I'm leaning towards air-cooling at the moment, any suggestions?

mate you'll be wanting to get the, arctic cooling VGA silencer ati4, Rev2.

Right well I would advise an Arctic Cooling Silencer

I think this is the one you want BUT not 100% sure.

Drop sales@kustompcs.co.uk an e-mail to ask them and they're sure to tell you the exact model

My post will give you an idea of what to expect:

Thanks very much for both your replies

I've looked around and it seems that it's the ATI5 that fits my card... or it's more compatible with the x800 series in general, so it should be okay. The reviews seem very good also, stating that it's hardly audible which is certainly what I'm aiming for.

I'll have to order one soon, cheers.
