Does look like a very good cooler indeed..

LOL..The design is like putting a CPU Cooler on top of the 8800 GC..I seriously think it will not perform well though by the look of it..

Well, you need to check the compatibility list. The 7900GS IIRC can be used with the Zalman VF900.

VF900 is better than VF700 especially with heatpipe...

PC Zone pun ada...LOL..But a tad more expensive than bulk price..

How well does the Plus version perform compared to the original stock cooler?

Wow..Thats like pretty impressive.Gosh, one more thing into my list then. Must wait until there are more competitor for the cooler first before making my decision..59c is ok with me on my current stock cooler but when the room is hot, the air blowing out from the GC is making the environment even hotter..LOL..

Yea, i do agree. RM215 already matches the price for High End Air Cooler for CPU. In this case, wouldnt it be even better if coupled with a high CFM fan?Time to really save up some money..

The TEC cooler should be better and more silent than the stock reference cooler but one major problem with this cooler is that it takes up 3 PCI slot instead of the usual 2 slot. My vote for the HR03 Plus as well unless this cooler is wayyy cheaper than the TR..

The only place i know thus far selling the HR03 Plus is via Bulk order..

Saw this at LYP the other day. This cooler is freaking huge..Whether it performs or not, i am not too sure though..

Price around RM110+ i think..

I also need the HR 03 PLUS badly so that i could solve the heat issue on my card once and for all..But damn, the price is sky high..

There is already MX-2 reviews out there so i guess it shouldnt be too long before it arrives...

I would say save the money first if the temperature isn't too bad. Else, get that cooler wouldn't be a bad idea. Changing new GC seems like a bad idea right now if you are aiming anything below the 8800 series as your 7900GS would be better off in comparison.

Guys, wondering, i have taken out my GTS heatsink the other day and clean up that crazy big chunk of TIM around. Also taken out all the thermal pads there and replace them with AS5.

Is it ok or it would be best to use back thermal pads?

Thanks.

I did that already but still, there is not much difference between the temperature. Still around the range of 60c, which is about 1 - 2c lower only..LOL..

Well, at first, i thought of applying the MX-1 instead of the AS5 but sadly, i forgot where i put my tube of TIM already. LOL..All i could get my hands on during that moment was the AS5 and Chill Factor. Since the TR TIM doesnt really impress me until today, i decided to put the AS5 instead. MX-2, i have yet to get my hands on one ..LOL..

Now, if you consider those Accelero Extreme to be overkill, wait till you see this crazy one from Zalman displayed at CeBIT. Heck, what are they thinking?

LOL..Guess you need to say goodbye to MultiGPU setup then huh. Doubt you can fit 2 of these inside.

One place you can get Zerotherm is via SLS which is in Singapore. They do have Zerotherm product at a good price but choices are kinda limited.
