    you have to watch out, they have so many versions and revisions of this cooler, make sure to get the right one.

    NV Silencer 5 REV.2 (6800 LE/GT/Ultra)

    Thanks. I think i will give it a try. I am also thinking of watercooling the gfx as i have already have a watercooling kit.

    Watercooling would be sweet since you have that setup already, But I have an arctic cooler (NV Silencer) on mine and wow, silent and very good cooling!! Two thumbs up from me!!

    basically i have the thermaltake bigwater watercooling kit. i am not sure though if it can handle another extra waterblock for the gfx card

    personaly i wouldnt man, i mean, adding that heat from the gpu into your loop might cause some serious problems.

    i would grab this cooler and dedicate that WC loop for your cpu.

    Yes i know. I have my processor from 2.8 to 3.4. My temps are very nice compared to the oc. i am at about 33 c idle and 44 at full load. So a watercooling won`t affect the heat so much. The problem is though that with watercooling you can`t cool also your ram. So i am going to go with the nv silencer most probably. I would also like to ask if anybody knows why when i unlock my gfx pipelines i cant oc it.
