Sorry i got mine at 540 clock 570 memory, i think is the memory that can't handle the OC, since the clock is at PE speeds, but the memory is lower, and now i dont get the artifacts.

yeah I noticed a different fan, actually I believe the only difference is it's placement. I don't know anyone who's used an HIS, be sure to followup with a review =)

All of the X850XT and PE fans are based on the silencers success.

There's no way I'm going Crossfire in the future. The manufactor is HIS and it's the best of all the X850XT cards you can get because of the fan.

End of the discussion, this is my choice.

Just a heads up, everyone here is trying to help you.

I'm Jewish you jerk! No I'm not. Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too. I didn't think you sounded rude but maybe that's cause I'm just used to forum chit-chat...

What's best?

Picking a X850XT PE with the stock ATi fan/design.

or

Picking a X850XT with Hightech (HIS) fan, that's very silent.

What'd you do?

Re: The Differents between X850XT and X850XT PE

I really don't think there's much of a difference. Like I said it just looks like the fan is placed differently. If you look at the other pictures, the bottom of the fan is fully exposed for about a quarter of the diameter. With mine it's just closer up to the "grill", and I certinally can't hear my XT PE's fan.

But note: I am only going by looks and guesses. I may be completely wrong.

Thank you for your answers. I'll phone the shop where I'm buying the card and ask which one is the best for me. :)

So to clear this up, there is no need to get a ATi Silencer 5(rev2) if you plan to overclock because the stock fan is pretty much the same design as the Silencer?

For the HIS versions, yes. But I don't know about the stock fans from ATi.
