   |  Correct arctic cooler for X800GTO series? We just built our first PC and bought an Arctic Cooling ATi Revision 5 series for our PowerColor X800GTO card. On the Arctic Cooling website it says that the cooler is suitable for "all the x800 series apart from the AIW" (which i presume means All IN Wonder versions). However, the cooler clearly doesn't fit because the card doesn't have the corresponding screwholes. What would be the correct Arctic Cooler, a Revision 4 series? Failing that, what other alternatives are there for cooling an OC'd card?

| In cases like this, I'd refer you to FrozenCPU for that question. They have (I think) the entire line of coolers, and would be able to pop you an answer relatively quickly. I know I got mine for the x850 from there and there was a notification that "if you have xxx version of the card, you need this one; and if you have yyy version, you need this one."

Not in the wrong place, they simply don't exist. I had a good look at that card, and there is simply no way that heatsink is gonna fit on that card. The only holes in it are from the original hsf around the GPU.
