Radeon 9550

Post by Apoc » Sun Jun 13, 2004 10:15 am

I just bought a Sapphire Radean 9550 128 Mb. It looks just like the 9600 pictured in this thread, except that
* It has no heatsink
* It has a fan
Grrr.

Since the 9550 is an underclocked 9600, it's got to be cooler, and is a fan really cheaper than a little HS?

Can somebody recommend a replacement cooling? I suppose the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer would fit, but I would prefer to go fanless.

Zalman's new GPU cooler (seems at least) fanless? :)

For reference, the fan is very loud. At 5V it is fairly quiet, but audiable at close range.

It does not completely lack a heatsink, the edges aroud the fan is the HS.

I hope the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer will fit.
