Seen it before? Sloppiest designs? LOL! It's not even out yet! A freind of mine did a review for a site on one of these (in the Netherlands) and said it's the quietest and best cooler he's ever had on a video card...........
MSRP is suppose to be around $30 US.

The article was posted on Techreport.com last week.
When I said sloppy. I meant in terms of comparison to the Thermalright V-1Ultra which uses a heatpipe to the reverse side of the card. In comparison to the VF700 & VF900 which has a flushed design to the base of the card. In comparison to the Arctic silcener which exhaust the GPU heat to the outside of the chassis. In comparison to the Thermaltake Schooner where the design heatpipe and sink are situated outside the chassis thru the slot.
To me, it just didn't seem all that phenominal compared to contraptions I built before just using a 1U or 2U Xeon or socket A heatsink and a single gamma blower on it. JMO though.

Given thet the Leadtek 6800gt had a monster stock cooler to begin with, the new zalman cooler looks pretty good. I'm planning to buy the vf900 to replace the stock cooler on my x1900xtx. Anyone know who has em in stock?

Id much rather have a $20 Vf700 or nv5 personaly. I aint paying $60 for a couple degrees difference. Maybe thats just me.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!To give you a good heads up this cooler will not fit on any of the Matrox, 6600/7300 [/b]AGP[/b] and 9500/9600, just to name a few.

Oh well... VF700, here I come. :\
I'm not sure if I'll ever OC, but thanks for the advice anyway. Yes, I know the VF700 will be enough for a 6600GT, but possibly not for the next card I buy. The VF900 could have been better in terms of longevity: if it actually cools better than the VF700, that is. The review doesn't say anything about that though, so who knows. I'm hoping I'm not missing out on a lot.Originally posted by: zagood
Just as a heads up, you'll be happy with the vf700 on your 6600GT. You'll need to grind or cut the ramsinks if you want to use them, but honestly they don't make much of a change as far as overclocking your ram. I decided not to use them on my wife's machine.
