I've re-installed my Ati Silencer 4 on my X800XTPE, atfer using a Zalman Dual Heatpipe cooler for about a month. The Zalman just didn't cool very well in my system, and it's almost Summer here. Now, the Silencer is fine, thanks to advice from one of the other posters here (can't recall the name, but...

You know I'm having problems too, as mentioned in the other thread. Overall, I think the Ati Silncer (4) is just a pretty poor piece of hardware. They're cheap here in Australia, but then so was the old Vga Silncer revision 3 I had, and it was fine. The clicking is irritating, so, like you Project, ...

I've been following this thread for a while now. I have a Powercolour X800XT PE, and having an otherwise fairly silent PC, decided to replace the Radeons stock cooling with a Ati Silencer 4. Installation was easy, and it keeps the card fairly cool, but it clicks like crazy! It's very annoying when a...

My Zalman 7000cu fan clicked like a bugger too; it was really noticable (to me, nobody else!) after silencing the rest of my system with Panaflo fans and fan-mates. Today, I installed a Zalman Multi Fan controller, hoping that might stop the clicking. It didn't, but then, I don't know much about thi...
