VGA Silencer? It said tighten the blue plastic thing with the metal strip until it bends, I did that but I heard a *POP* and I looked in the middle of it and I could see a crack in the steel. Its still really tight on there and my 9800 Pro is workin great on silent mode, my temps dropped 3C already.

So to sum it up, did I fubar myself or no?

as long as it is working I would not worry to much

I'd worry about it. If the steel is already cracked it'll probably crack further because of the heating/cooling cycle of the card and all the case vibrations. I'd contact Arctic Cooling ands see if you can obtain a new clamping bracket.
