Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but here is the X800 PRO made by HIS
with what looks like the Arctic Cooler VGA hsf.
http://www.hisdigital.com/html/x800pro_iceqii.htm#
I cant find anything that says cost or availabilty though. The Artic Cooler
site has no info on it.
http://www.arctic-cooling.com/en/products/vga_silencer/
I wonder if the cooler works on the X800 XT.

Over at Rage3d's forums there was a post saying the x800 compatible VGAS
would be out in 4-6 wks I believe. Since the card is more or less identical
to a 9800 sizewise n such shouldnt be too long.

Sorry, did you read my post? Arctic Cooling have told me yesterday that the
Series 4 of the VGA Silencer - which is the version you will need to run on
an X800 - will be out in 6~7 weeks.

LOL nope apparently not all the way. My OE preview size was just right that
I only saw top half, assumed was just a question and thought was all of it,
hehe. Sorry bout that.

I saw this and missed the rest:

O.k.thanks, 6-7 weeks. Do you think it will fit the X800 XT?

I can only guess, but from what I have seen the XT and the Pro are
physically identical, so YES.

With a good set of calipers and a dremel tool
you can make anything fit anything.

I just visited that page. Interesting.. very interesting.. What intrigued me
the most was this second paragraph:
"HIS Excalibur X800 XT IceQ II features 16-pipeline architecture for top
rendering power, 256MB GDDR3 of DDR memory to accelerate latest 3D games and
new SMARTSHADERTHD technology supporting DirectX®.0 and the latest
OpenGL®-1.5 functionality to give developers the freedom to create more
complicated and realistic visual effects than ever before."

So that mean there is a NEW technology out called SMARTSHADER HD for DIRECTX
0 ? Cool..

I think my old voodoo 4mb pci supports that, yepp! It's sure DirectX 0
compliant :)

Also check this out, quote from the site:
"40% fan noise lower, 30% less heat
Noise level: 0.5 sone
Far quieter than graphic boards with standard cooler
Durability : Outstanding cooling performance extend the card life "

Now why don't they be realistic and post Noiselevel in db? 0.5 sone? what is
that?

If it's the same thing as the Artic cooler I have on my AIW 9800pro
they mean "40% less heat - i.e. as detected on GPU - than with stock
cooler from ATI". That's all.

And the temp for sure are measured in C as this company is canadian
and only americans use F.

EDIT : I meant that ATI is a canadian company thus they give out the
info in C - or so it is on my Arctic-Cooler box.

The Fahrenheit temperature scale is still widely used in the UK,
although I think we use the Centigrade scale officially, now.

I'm sorry - perhaps I am being stupid - but I still don't know what that
means.

The GPU outputs a fixed amount of heat: this does not change if you change
the heatsink.

So what does 40% less heat actually mean? I still have no idea.

What they mean is that there's less heat that accumulates on the GPU
compared to the context where the card is equipped with the stock
cooling fan designed by ATI. The Arctic-Cooler is able to bring the
temp down because it blows the hot air gathered from the GPU to the
outside of the case instead of just recycling the air around the
heatsink as is the case with the stock cooling from ATI. So if you
take the temp on the GPU, it will be less hot, thus the "less heat".

Well... Celsius, bit for most purposes Celsius == Centigrade 🙂

Yes, seems the Celsius scale is a type of Centigrade scale. You're
right; Celsius seems to be the term usually used now, Ben, but when I
was younger, it was always referred to as Centigrade - Celsius was
never used. Go figure! But I guess that's why I habitually refer to
Centigrade rather than Celsius.

Not sure... but it does runs hot... hot enough for it's standard
cooling fan to be not capable of keeping it running. ..

The UK Met Office calls it 'Celsius'.

It's used worldwide as Celsius, the international weather people decided to
honour Celsius for his work in creating a sensible scale (even if he did
start off with it backwards 😛)

Er, Ben already pointed that out and I agreed with him a couple of
days before your post, Pat ;-)
