e v o will become famous soon enough

ATI Silencer 5 Rev. 2

I had one of these die on me recently, and I ordered another one. It worked fine, but i noticed some differences from the time i ordered my 1st. One was it came with a thermal pad instead of the cheap compound. The other was that it was much more noisy than the 1st. I can hear the fan motor very pretty well. It sounds like the fan might be hitting something, but after tinkering, i've concluded it was the fan motor itself. Has anyone recently ordered one of these and noticed these changes??

I might try the vf700 now....

Ben

edit: The whirring/soft clicking noise, goes away at 100% fan speed
