ATI Silencer 1 Rev. 2

[GT2000]

I just got my Silencer rev. 2 in today, the hardest part was getting the stock ati heatsink off the gpu. Seems to be doing the trick so far, the thing that made me go do the upgrade was lock ups in HL2, didn't really seem to get them in anything else, so I'll have to burn the card in, running loops in different 3dmark apps. Currently have the 9800pro running at 9800xt speeds.

Here's the back-side, showin' off some copper.. maybe ya still don't notice how big it really is...

And here we have the test subject, one Built-by-ATI 9800 Pro 128mb.
(notice that dust?)

Heatsink removed...all that holds it is two clips that need to be pinched together on the back, that was the hardest part, getting them pinched and pulling them out at the same time.
(Check out that nasty dust build up around the core.)

With the new monster installed, here's the simple 2-screw bar that holds the heatsink in place.

Here's how it looks sitting on the card.
