Does anyone have this cooler laying around somewhere? If whoever does have this stock cooler still on hand after getting an arctic silencer or something... Really need the stock cooler!

lemme guess, your card broke, and you need to RMA it, and make it look like it was never modified, but you have an aftermarket cooler on it?

good luck in your search.

I was really thinking about an Arctic cooler for a Radeon 9800 XT that idled at 74 and zoomed to 84 in Oblivion until I had Catalyst Underclock it whenever it started going past 82. I never could get a sensible answer from ATI about what was a dangerous temp for that card. Now I'm using an X800 XT-PE that will idle at 42 but can get as high as 88 in Oblivion. Right now, I have one of those backplane fans that blows into the GPU heat sink fan, mounted between the VGA card and the Sound Blaster Audigy, and it no longer goes over 73. Those 9800s and 800s are like P4s when it comes to generating heat! (OK, I know, I still don't know personally what kind of temps the latest 7th generation 3D cards throw off.)

I had the fan sieze up and literally melt itself right out of the heatsink on my old 9800 pro. I just went out and bought another fan that would fit in the heatsink, the young fella has that card still firing away in his case now.

Why else would I be begging for a stock fan?

Found one on Ebay for $5. Don't know if you guys can make me a kind offer...

BTW, the guy at Tech support does not care at all. He said even if you have ramsinks on them go ahead and take them off.

Scratch that... I need another fan...
