Zalman VF700-AlCu GPU Cooler Review!

Dashken · 28th Dec 2004, 11:43 PM

The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5800 Ultra has already shown us how the heat generated can be unbearable, both thermally as well as acoustically. Is quiet cooling still possible?

Today, we will take a look at the new Zalman VF700-AlCu GPU cooler! Much lighter and sporting a flower heatsink design, is this the ultimate cooling solution? Let's find out!

i doubt Chai has a review unit of an 6800GT ..

Why do you want me to test on 6800GT? Compatibility issue?

I suppose it's because he has a 6800GT and he wants the know the temperature eh?

Why not take temperature readings with the stock cooler that comes with the video card before you remove it so that the VF700-AlCu could be compared with the stock cooling?

Thanx for the reply Chai.

About the request for a 6800gt+vf700Cu review, indeed i have one

... but i believe the need for aftermarket cooling for this card is very high, and many people would like to know about how the couple perform.

The real houndup would be a vf700 X nv5

Anyway if u can give us such a review it will be a plus.

Regards and wish you a happy new year
