Zalman VF900 Cu GPU Cooler Review

[Tyreal]

Today’s graphic cards are getting more and more powerful every generation. With all this power; a good cooling system is needed. Even when companies sell these cards with good cooling, there are never enough. There is when companies like Zalman come to the rescue. Zalman have been producing great GPU cooling solutions for years now, take the VF700 for instance. But even the VF700 is no match for the likes of the ATI X1900 series. So, now enters the VF900.

Actually performs pretty good. I wouldn't go out and buy it right away since I'm pretty happy with my VF700 ALCU but i'd be a good cooler for a new card.

Its kind of like a minituare CNPS7000 or a double sided VF700

i wonder what its going to cost when its available :? i would like to replace the stock cooler on my 7800gt because it blows all that hot air right onto my NF4 SLI chipest and it gets pretty toasty >.<

Awesome review! That's a great little cooler; incredibly innovative. Good job Zalman! I know first hand that cooling a 6800GT is no easy task, but I'm definately suprised at how well the VF900 works! I'll have to keep that little guy in mind :)

The review says it will cost about $49! If that is the case, it is a little pricey for me too. Damn Zalman thinks they own the world. But I guess when you have a good product and you know it you can do stuff like that :roll:
But it just sucks because it won't ever be as popular as it could be because of the price premium. Anyone remember how much the VF700 was when it was launched?

about the same price as the VF900?

Well, I was being serious. I really don't know. I was hoping someone knew. It was a legitimate question...

Oh, that's not a problem. I thought you were assuming I was being sarcastic and were asking the answer to my question as if I knew it

i kinda find it ironic that i use a 7000 on my cpu and now they are useing the same heatsink on GPUs o_O.
