Just got my hands on the Zerotherm GX810 from my friend who is back from Singapore. First look at it, it seems bigger than i thought.Anyway, since its CNY, i still do not have time to test it yet.Still sealed in box.Will do the testing later...

seems alot like the Zalman VF 900.
but if im not mistaken, its performance shud be significantly better according to some review i just rad a few days back

Well, i have seen a few review especially the one on tweak-town(IIRC the name) that said the performance isnt anywhere near the Zalman's but i am not pretty convinced by that review.Actually i bought this together with my cousin.He got the lower end GX710 for his 7600GS for about $43 while my GX810 cost $60.

Hopefully i will have sometime in these few days to assemble it and try out the performance...

that zero packaging look nice and high end lol. IMHO, better than zalman

any chance to review and post the result here, bro?

dude please read before u post.
he already said that he will get to reviewing it after this.
its cny, people are very busy

Just got the time to assemble the Zerotherm on my 7300GT and it does look gorgeous.Way bigger than my old stock Galaxy HSF.Didnt have the time to upload the pictures as i am still at my hometown.Will do so when i got back to KL..

Anyway, these are the relative result i got on the Zerotherm.To be honest, i dont really know how to do testing.All of these temperature i got from the Nvidia Ctrl Panel.If any of you wanted more accurate ones, do let me know which program i should use and what i should do..lol...


These are the results using Zerotherm GX810 using the supplied silver TIM.Will change to AS5 when i get back to KL :


At stock speed (500/1400) :

GX810
IDLE - 47c
LOAD - 52c

Stock HSF
IDLE - 53c
LOAD - 58c

At OC speed (550/1500) :

GX810
IDLE - 49c
LOAD - 54c

Stock HSF
IDLE - 56c
LOAD - 60c

OC load temp seem comparable to zalman VF900. can't wait for those pic cuz i'm still deciding whether to get this or not

btw, enjoy holiday first. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR !!!

lol..i cant really compare it to the Zalman cause i dont have them.Actually my cousin also bought the GX710 and he told me the result had been relatively good.A couple of degree cooler than the original Palit cooler on the 7600GS...

For your information, i got the GX810 for about RM145 while the GX710 for roughly RM100 from Singapore but its almost impossible to find it over there now.The supplier told my friend that its kinda hard to find it there already..Might need to wait...

Got myself a Zalman VF900CU. Came with fan controller and 8 pcs ram sinks.

Test GC: Leadtek PX 7900GS TDH
Thermal Paste: AS5

OC S/w: ATi Tool 0.26

Fan speed for VF900CU is at max (2600RPM, but still silent)
Its a simple test where idle is wait 30 secs from any activity.
Load is max temp from log files after i run the 3dmark06 SM3 test

Just wanna give the bros an indication of this baby's cooling ability (and I am too free)

Stock Speed: Core 450, Mem 660
a) Stock HSF: Idle - 52, Load - 64, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1650
b) VF900CU: Idle - 40, Load - 48, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1632

OC Speed: Core 540, Mem 760
a) Stock HSF: Idle - 51, Load - 68, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1929
b) VF900CU: Idle - 43, Load - 50, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1925

OC Speed: Core 555, Mem 780
a) Stock HSF: Idle - 51, artifacts oredi
b) VF900CU: Idle - 44, Load - 51, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1975

Basically its a sweet cooler that reduces GC temps by ~20% for my case.
O/C ability of course depends on card. Silent, Steady GC cooler that's *quite* expensive but the size is small compared with some other monster size solutions.

If you want, probably I can loan you my zalman vf900cu. it is collecting dust in my room because it is not suitable for my x1950pro

arctic cooling accelero S2



http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=125

Link

Seems like there are two ver. + can mount fan on it, but what fan size??? by looking at their dimension, i hoping it can fit 120mm fan on it damn, it covers the whole vga area




Radeon X1950XTX and CF cooled passively [Link]

the cooler so big, even can see the vga doin CF wonder what's the minimum case size for this cooler to fit

really looks nice... i am so interested!

do a bulk on it la the cooler only available starting June, & somemore AC gonna make S3 soon [Link]

Sure thing if there is a demand for it

lol..good idea but wait till i got my time on it.Not really interested in getting any parts out right now before my new mobo arrives.Too many assignments to do...

Anyway, why u keep that Zalman away?It cant fit or not good for your ATI?

The ZEROtherm might be one of the easiest cooler to be installed on a GC as far as i can see.All you need to do is poke the screw into your GC PCB and screw the other end..And you are done...

There's two version of Arctic Cooling S GPU Cooler

S1 & S2

The S1 has four heatpipes.
The S2 only has two heatpipes.

Quoted from Theinquirer


Larger picture:


But something stupid about this new heatsink is, it's newly launched, but Arctic Cooling don't even bother to make it applicable to Nvidia 8800 GFX Series.

What the hell is those swiss engineers were thinkin'?

rileks la br0
since it can be used many others GFx, Y need bother for only single series 8800?

VF900CU is as simple to install too. I kept the vf900cu in my cupboard because after installing it on my x1950pro. It didnt cool the VRM of the card, so the card will get overheated for sure.

I recieved an official reply from Zalman too and it said vf900cu is not recommended for x1950 series cards. Asked me to wait for the latest zalman vga cooler that going to release soon.

Any idea whether can a 120 mm fan fit on that? I cant seem to find the answer anywhere

8800 & 1950XTX, which one is hotter??? a lot of different in temp between this two vga??? cause they did test the S1 on 1950XTX, but didn't show the temp result for it passive lak tu [Link]
CrossFire somemore, which doubles the heat trap in chassis wonder S1 can cool 1950XTX



klu 1950XTX leh pkai passive, apa lg GeForce 6 & 7 Series @ Radeon 18XX & 19XX Sereis


me also didn't find any answer for it

but after thinking bout it again & again, how stupid am i for not noticing it, it surely fits 120mm fan, cause:



1st: see the dimension for S2 (the 2 Heatpipe), 140(L) x 188(W) x 32(H) mm, from the dimension only u already can know it will fit 120mm

2nd: okay, let say it cannot fit 120mm fan on it, instead 90mm can, then there will be some area of the heatpipe not gonna cool off, cause the 90mm fan won't able to cover the area of the extended heatpipe if 2x90mm fan can cover the whole length of the cooler, but not the it's width... can u imagine using 90mm fan on Ultra-120 or Noctua NH-U12

then this will be the 1st VGA Cooler that can mount 120mm fan on it i'm also impress with it's weight, only 202g now just left to know is the minimum case size for it


seeing the pic also make me scared of the clearance issue macam nak terkeluar je cooler tu u even can't see the other X1950XTX cause being block by the top cooler, damn, so big





see the S1, if cannot mount 120mm fan, i dunno what to say la, what bout the other 2 heatpipe at each end, how it gonna cool off
