This are the pictures of the GX810 on my 7300GT.Just have the time to post it...

nice, looks much better than zalman vf900cu..... how is the performance?

I posted that before but not really tested it in comparison with the VF900.But way better than my stock even with fan running at half speed.Cant really control the speed of the fan cause this have that thermal controller thing that makes the fan run faster when its hotter....As my 7300GT come with only 2 pin fan connector while the GX810 run on 3 pin, i couldnt force it to run fan at full speed all the time using Nvidia Ctrl Panel...

Is the cable long enough to plug into the mobo 3pin? Sweet cooler, looks great. Whats the noise level like at full speed?

I wonder if you can fix the speed of the fan via fancontroller...

Yes, the cable is very long.Roughly about 10cm if i had not mistaken.Well, i never tried it with a fan controller before though.Maybe i would give it a shot after i get myself one.Since i had never push it to full speed yet, i still cant give any oppinion on the noise level but currently, its very silent and you wont hear any noise after you close the side panel.Even with side panel opened, you still hardly hear any noise..Definitely more silent than my Zalman Fatal1ty CPU Cooler for sure...

I need help on what HSF could i fit on this 6600.
CHAINTECH 6600


Thanks.


here is the pic of the GC.

Thanks.

Zalman VF700-Cu is enough for the job

don't bother getting those high-end cooler, trust me ppl will recommend u a high-end vga cooler cause it's easy for u if u upgrade to a new vag card la & yada, yada, yada....

by the time u upgrade ur vga card, ur "high-end" cooler will be outdated already

Thank for The Info bro.

I have this MCW50 VGA WAterblock.

But it seems that i have to get an optional Fitting kit in order to use it, which i dunt think is easilt attainable.

So i might just look for a Air cooling Heatsink for the VGA.

ANy other suggestions ?

I see that you have another PCI card right below the GC.Maybe you will need to check out the space available to you and make sure that specific cooler is going to fit in nicely..For 6600, i guess Zalman would do the job quite well and is easily available.

Yes thats my LAN Card.

How many pci slots does the zalman occupy ?

Well, that really depends.I had not tried on any Zalman VGA Cooler before so i cant give any oppinion on that.However, previously, i had heard complaints about Zalman cooler being too big and cause problem especially during SLi/Xfire.Therefore, if your LAN card is right below the GC, there might be some problem in fitting it in.Maybe Zalman user can explain more...

If you could find it here, i really thinks the ZEROtherm GX710 could do the job for you at an affordable price.Should be roughly around RM100+.And it had been stated in ZEROtherm site that its built for Xfire/SLI, so i suppose it wont be blocking any PCI slot..

I wont be using the Lan Card in a few months time coz my main mobo wud be back from FIXING.

Mind to share how ur GX810 is performing ?

Thanks.

I had posted the result previously.Maybe you could check out in previous pages...If you are budget concerned, i guess the GX710 could do the job for you for roughly around RM100+.But its hard to get ZEROtherm product here.Maybe you could look at bulk order.Are you into hardcore OCing?

i have checked the GX710 and GX810 does not support 6600 AGP.

I guess i wud have to stick with Zalman then.

Thanks for the feedbacks

let's all together do some logical thinking ya

ur cooler will not be blocking another vga for SLI/XFire cause if u doing SLI/XFire, there will be a gap (size of two pci slots), go & find a SLI/XFire mobo that places their both PCIE slots side by side, i'm pretty sure that u won't find any there will be two pci slots under the first PCIE, then another PCIE slot under the pci slot

& yes, any cooler design for SLI/XFire means the cooler won't blockin the 2nd vga card, but doe the 2nd vga card stand really under the 1st vga card, nope, there will be 2 pci slots under it

but if u have a card really under the vga, most third party cooler will block it so ur understandings of "i suppose it wont be blocking any PCI slot.." is wrong

The bro could move his card down a slot or two, then no need to worry about the size too much

Ya sli usually got gap between the two pcie16x, so its *generally* safe

I can see from the photo there he have at least 3 more PCI slot to use, so don't need to worry about the size lor like vey99 say...unless all other PCI slot is faulty then can't help lor...

Well, i guess you are right but thats what stated in Zerotherm site. I have heard someone having problem with those big zalman fan that sometimes cause problem during SLI/Crossfire.This is because last time, when i wanted to purchase the 7300GT Zalman fan version, there are 2 types available which is the big zalman fan and a small one.Therefore, i did that assumption myself..lol..

Thanks for all the feedbacks

i am choosing either the zalman or the zerotherm ( which i doubt wud fit my card)

@zahri

ur 6600 is AGP right??? does it have a HSI Bridge chip? if it does...check to make sure ur HSI bridge heatsink is SEPERATE from ur main GPU heatsink. otherwise...ur gonna have a tough time finding a cooler that can fit ur GC.

EDIT: btw, i would also recommend the Zalman VF700 heatsink. or u could also try the VF900. but not sure if the VF900 can fit ur card or not
