Hybrid SilentPipe II
The Hybrid cooling unit is held on the system by four screws and a bracket for the case. The unit takes up one PCI slot but it is worth it for the extra cooling that the SilentPipe 2 system provides. The unit installs easily. Take the Hybrid SilentPipe 2 out of its packaging, apply included thermal paste to the underside of the unit mount it on the bracket, screw four screws into the holes and you are done.
