Hey everyone,
I have a Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB), made by Ati, and I wanted to overclock a little bit, and everyone seems to be recommending the Ati Silencer 1 by Arctic Cooling. But there are 2 version of that cooler, the old one with the blue fan (rev. 3), and the new series with the black fan. Which one is better, and why? Should I spend the extra money for the new series? Or will the old one work just as well? Please post any comparisons, reviews or any other useful information.

Thanks, and any help is appreciated.
