A Question About NV5 Silencers....

[BlackTigers91]

Well, I Picked up an eVGA 7800GT, but for $15 more, I have the option of adding the attached NV5 Silencer.

I'm wondering, is this worth it? Will it greatly reduce my temps? Any info is appreciated.

The AC NV5 Silencer (rev 2) is going for about $20.00 on the egg. So basically, you're saving 5 bucks... plus the time for installation. Not sure if it'll "greatly" lower your videocard temps, but usually, these aftermarket coolers perform better than the stock cooling solution.

Will you be overclocking your card? I think that's the best determining factor.

Good Luck

It's already installed, plus it's got AS5 underneath .

Will I overclock, more than likely, yes.
