Graphics New Zalman cooler (VF900 DUAL HEATPIPES)

Some competition for the new Arctic cooler. Cant wait to see the reviews and how both arctic and this compare

 

Now thats pretty nifty.
Look how slimline it is! On 6/7800GT(x)s this would work a treat.

 

From what i've heard, It's designed with Sli in mind

 

how much would one of them set me back? I know the hsf are around £30

 

The fatal1ty is beefier. But those heatpipes could kick it's ass. We'll find out. I'll buy one if they come out with a fatal1ty version so I can match up the paint scheme.

 

That's pretty nifty - a good idea, probably well executed, knowing Zalman. Let's see a review before passing judgement.

 

dyou think theyll release a mini-sized one of these to use to replace the bloody annoying chipset fan on the DFI sli-dr?!

 

Unless there's an even newer VGA Silencer that I've not heard about, the VF700 was already preferable to the new Silencers IMO. This just looks even better

 

The vf-700 is the best vga hs as of now from every review I have read. The Fatal1ty version is exactly the same with an even better than that.

 

Exactly. The original and rev3 VGA Silencers were awesome, but the new models generally kinda suck - not silent enough and not cooling enough. A new model of VF700 is just improving what's already the best out there - sometimes I wish I wasn't watercooling

 

Go back to air cooling and see if you still wish the same thing

 

Ain't ever gonna happen

 

You stole my word!

 

I have just seen something so cool. This and a zalman Fatal1ty vga cooler on a dual GPU card, look so serois and hardcore gamer. Man were did I see it again.

Also its about time Zalman started doing this. but the heatpipe should some how go from core to fins with same zalman design. Also they should make a RAM cooler that is connected by heatpipes and larger heatsink. Sicne they cant go wider on the heatsink, why not make them large in area, with same highet. This will make this card cool so much better.

Every cooler maker when making a cooler should do this test, take a 256 GTX and test there design buy taking the card to 545core and 1500 memory. Run a game or two and then send the card out. I feel there is no point is a cooler that looks good but cant do better overclocking the stock cooler.

 

Oooo, I like the look of these coolers.
Although, has anyone heard about ASUS reversing their cards so that they face upwards to the CPU? With this idea in mind, do you think that there may be coolers that attach to the back of the card and run heatpipes to the GPU, creating a similar situation where the heat wont rise back into the car?

 

Why would ASUS do this with BTX trying to take over?
