AC ATI Silencer 4 (Video cooler)

I just put this on with some AS5 and my video card temps went from 34-36C at idle to 29-30C. Very good cooler for 30 bucks shipped (Xoxide). 15 minutes to install. I recommend it. BTW: My video card is a ATI Radeaon X800 XT (PCIe).

A small update. I woke up this morning (my computer was running all night) and I checked out the card's temps and they were down to 26C!!

you got that temp drop because the AS5 needs to break in. on a CPU, it takes a few weeks for the AS5 to fully break in. your temps may drop another degree or 2 over the next few weeks.
