Early this morning, I managed to replace the GPU cooler for my old Zotac Geforce 8800GT.

The old Zalman Fatality GPU Cooler (Now up for sale)

The difference of the idle temperature between the Zalman cooler and Xigmatek cooler was around 6-8c (with both running at full speed).

Xigmatek cooler @ full speed is a lot quieter than Zalman cooler @ full speed.

Previously with Zalman cooler, it was around =56-60c

Now with Xigmatek cooler = 50-52c

Please not that this was tested in a room without air conditioning, will update results when the aircon is switch on later.

I would not be able to test the load temperature as my old PC has no games in it at all.

Pros:
1. Silent (even at fullspeed)
2. Fans can be replaced if needed be.
3. Quite easy to fit in
4. Wide compatibility
5. Good availability

Cons:
1. Takes up more than 2 slots
2. Instructions not as clear as the Zalman counterpart

I would recommend this to anyone who are quite annoyed with the heat and noise generated from their stock coolers.

It is heavier by around 300g to 500g I think as I didn't weigh after....too excited to insert into the casing.

Anyway, my dad's PC was as heavy as it could get.

This is a good product and also a very affordable one for those who owns a Geforce 8800GT or GTX2xx (untested).

I won't mind getting this for my next Geforce GTX285 (that is after I change the entire casing, the current one does not have enough clearing to support another Geforce GTX285 with Xigmatek BattleAxe.

The Zalman Fatality GPU cooler sold.

the default low temps of my 9150e and the achilles that i got from lingloong seem to keep my temps around 28-29 on idle smile.gif

one thing to note though, for anyone planning to get a Cooler Master casing with side window. the acrylic i just a little too thick to close the panel properly, and the fittings are a bit brittle, so need to be careful when taking it out tongue.gif however, if you're buying an nvidia version casing, the acrylic thickness is just nice tongue.gif

Yo how did u tighten the fan on Thor Hammer? BTW have a look on my rig to tell me did I place it the correct way, thanks.
It's really a pain in the *** to fix that thing, me and my friend were kinda noob but luckily managed to fix it.

While running at 3.7ghz, my processor (intel Q9550) is idle at 43c and load at 70c. quite ok for a casing without a good airflow haha biggrin.gif

@nncl
Bro, i think theres something wrong cos last time my e8400 (at 4ghz) only reach 35c at idle and 63c during load while using cm hyper 212. Better check ur cooler back, u might not setted the cooler properly

@Gray Fox [X]
Usually i just attach the cooler and the fan first onto the motherboard. after that i just screw the mobo with the cooler attach on it inside the casing. to much work if i attach the cooler /fan later laugh.gif
Anyway, theres nothing wrong with the way u place ur cooler. the reason i place mine like that because my top fan can draw out the hot air better then my 8cm exhaust fan + i can cool down my graphic to biggrin.gif
