so... i got the phone utility working.. misteriously... so i got the pics out of the phone )
ati silencer no2.. came in nice shiny package..
..back of package.. man, i love getting these shniny packages open...
..(blurry) sticker.. don't like these... they are best suited on my phone's battery
...dindn't need the instructions.. basically, the thing has to be "uninstalled" when you get it out of the package, so you have an idea how to mount it on the video board.. if u do it right, that is..
..this is also useful, as seeing you need some holes for the exhaust..
i hate this piece... so unaesthetic.. unfortunatelly, it is (still) needed as a back plate for the mounting mechanism..
the cooler out of the box, shoing itself in its full-copper-base form..
..nice fins..
..nice fan.. veeeeerrrrryyy silent... not only compared to the rest of my fans..
..nice sticker.. i hate it though.. i think i'll loose it and etch the clear case..
the fin array is very nicely bonded to the base and it looks very clean... no bends (i remember when i got my copper volcano 12 and took it apart.. some fins on the sides were bent.. )
..good thing they use thermal tape.. bad it isn't full-copper with some thermal compound...
..old card..
"old" gpu..
"new" (cleaned) gpu..
..it says swiss design, but it's made in china..
..new card with added silence...
card is quite thick now.. hmm... and longish.. 2xhmm
ugly.. will adress it later... i'm going home in 2 or 3 days, so no time now.. tools all packed...
