Leadtek 8800GT ZL cooling queries

[blazer78]

I noticed this up on the leadtek website, with a chart of the GPU and Memory temps going down by 20 and 10 degrees celcius respectively. (comparitively with the stock cooling)

I can't seem to find a website that has reviewed this card and has proved leadteks claims with their zalman cooler. Judging from the pictures of the card on the website, the heatsink isn't covering the video ram, which leads me to believe how on earth would the cooling solution prevent the ram from overheating?

Thanks in Advance.

Hey blazer,

Just recently I bought the Leadtek 8800GT ZL video card. The card idles at about 45C and is between 55 - 59C at full load, it is very cool and quiet. Most websites don't mention that it is mildly overclocked so don't forget about that when looking at the price. The card scores 11,500 in 3dmark06 with a E8200 CPU @ stock.

Yea, But that's the GPU core temperature I take it. Does your card have ramsinks? or a temperature monitor for the ram temperature? Just unknown as to whether this card actually cools the video ram well enough.
