New Silencers for 9800pro 128mb

[SLOGAN69]

Anyone know if Arctic Cooling will be releasing a Silencer version for 128mb 9800pros? With the RAM cooling obviously.
thanks

little confused as to what you mean...perhaps I asked my question wrong.
I am talking about ram cooling like Ver. 2,3 and 4 that won't void the warranty = no glue

[Transnone13]

Well they say 256mb ver. only. The ocz ramsinks use tape which u can take off .

OOOH IC when . Well, Idk but I dont see why you couldnt just use th OCZ sinks.

[SLOGAN69]

There is no certanty that thermal tape will come off.

[Transnone13]

If u can get epoxy off, u can get tape...

[SLOGAN69]

I haven't removed epoxy before, nor is there a guarantee that it can be removed without ripping a ram chip off.
So please, hopefully someone out there has an idea about my question

thanks

Well there are no aftermarket ram/chipset HS for this card. Although, you MAAY be able to use the one designed for the xt/256mb version. Here's a 256MB Pro and a 128MB Pro.

This silencer MAAY work (I doubt it), but it's the closest thing you'll get to what you want.

EDIT: I found confirmation that there is no HS that fulfills what you want.

This looks like a great product but you should be aware that it will NOT fit on a Radeon 9800 Pro 128M 8x96 board (that’s 128M vs. 256M). Even if the mounting holes on the card were in compatible places (they aren’t) there is a row of capacitors on the board that interferes with the design of this product.

Thanks for your completely obvious information...this is why I am inquiring.
Not too be rude, but I am not some n00b without a clue. I currently have a Rev.3 cooler on my card and like I said want memory cooling that does not void my warranty, hence my question. I had heard somewhere that they were going to produce one for the 128mb version, with Mem cooling
thanks

I used Arctic Silver Adhesive and removed it without a problem just stick it in the freezer before RMAing, if that's what you're planning. also, the OCZ RAMsinks are fairly easy to remove as well

but changing the cooling voids the warranty anyway...

i doubt ramsinks would void the warentee if removed correctly before RMAing.. i think if you used hairdryer+careful twisting.. theyd come of and leave a bit of residue removable with rubbing alcohol

[Transnone13]

Ive listed all the options for you man to this date. Tape, superglue/as5, or epoxy. End of story. I also never implied you were a newbie; maybe stubborn .

[SLOGAN69]

Stubborn because I don't like your suggestions?
Think not dude.
Changing the cooling doesn't void the warranty if you can remove it.

Hrmm no offense but you are talking in circles. The OCZ ramsinks with their pre-applied thermal tape is easy to both install and eventually remove. There are many more things that can go wrong in terms of voiding your warranty when installing/removing HSFs then there are when applying/removing a few small copper heatsinks.....

No you will not "rip" off your memory module when removing the HSs and yes the remaining residue is simple to remove when proper cleaning technique is used.

Dunno why you are set on making this so much more complicated then it has to be....

actually, it does. just, if you change it back, they have no way of knowing. same thing with RAMsinks. if you remove them, they have no way of knowing

Use RAMsinks my friend. A whole lot cheaper than buying a whole new silencer.

If you are worried about ripping your ram off when trying to remove ramsinks put on with AS epoxy then just cut it with some AS3/5 or ceramique, they say that on their website. I used ceramique to thin out my AS epoxy on my ramsinks.

[SLOGAN69]

I am not the one making this difficult Ctech, I had a simple question and others posting in this have turned it into a big debate, with my question not even being touched upon. I wanted to know if anyone had heard if Arctic Cooling was going to produce a cooler for my 9800pro 128mb card that has the BUILT in RAM COOLING similar to versions 2,3, and 4. Thats it. I don't care what you people THINK I should do (besides AMD_LVR_N_AK!), if I wanted opinions I would have asked.
As for voiding the warranty, thats what I had meant, when I remove my rev3 cooler they will not know.
AMD_LVR_N_AK! - I think that I might try that. Do you have a link to their site for that?
thanks

[aG3Nt0R4NG3]

I doubt they would make another revision of ATi coolers that have the RAM cooling in it for the 128 9800Pro. I don't understand why RAMsinks would be such a problem. If you do it right than you will not have to worry about ripping the ram off.

[SLOGAN69]

Ultimately I just really like the idea of them. So much possibility to do some serious modding to it. That's why I am so curious.
I might just resort to adding some sinks though.
