it used to looks cool and loud, but are they still available now ??
Best stock cooling now i think maybe HIS which come with aritc cooling or some manufactur that comes with zalman heatsink.

Well, for the best bang of buck, i would suggest you to find forummer - moderno
Go for the Sun copper VGA cooler that offered by him, looks exactly like Zalman VF700 clone, and perform almost the same also, some more with 4 LEDs

zalman check bulk order, look for forummer shreaker

dont tell me you are going to get VF900 to cool down your GF4 Ti

How you know that the page is saying the heatsink contacts cool BOTH GPU and Memory ??
If it does, why ramsink is provided ?
From the picture itself, it is so damn clear that the base only contact with the GPU.

It is better to ask for plague's budget first.
Since we all know coolermaster is not performing real good.
If plague having limited budget, it is quite ok to get it.

Btw, do you mean Artic Silencers were bad too since the heatsink cools both GPU and Memory? I doubt it.
The memory chips aren't really that hot to bring up the GPU's temp

No, they dont suck, at least better than the stock cooler.
At the post before, you said they were worse than stock cooler, that is just plain rubbish.

I never said that you just talk though.
The X1 and X2 is not really made for overclocker and those people who doesn't have well ventilated airflow inside the case.
They are made for those silent freak who cant stand the stock cooler's noise.

So, comparing them with other 3rd party coolers will be never a ending story, sure there are other coolers which is better.

oh well, guess that you miss out one of my point.

Perhaps, your case airflow is not good enough?
Just curious

overclocking results sometimes is not related to the cooler...
10MHz is like so less

Zalman used to have a seperate HSI sink for the 6600AGP since the VF700 era.
For the VF900, I am not really sure.

currently only Thermalright HR-03 plus support nVidia 8800 series

IMHO, if paired with fans, i think the V2 would perform better

No doubt that a fast fan could bring better performance on all heatsinks. We all sure know that copper stores more heat than aluminium and dissipates heat slower.
But yet, those are only assumption. Let's wait for what Thermalright will come out with.

better go for VF700CU for better performance
No led nevermind

how about getting it HERE ?

FSV7?

Do you mind getting used one?
Few people selling those in garage sale section though

why need to wait lol
just play

i dont know whether this is a repost or not...Zalman VF1000
Looks like 7900GTX cooler lol

i wonder too

But by adding a piece of aluminum/copper on top of the core, the HR-03 Plus would fit I think

Wow this is surprising.

The CollViVa is really that good ?
My guess here is, the aluminium zalman VF-700 sucks >.<
The original Zalman should be copper anyway.

Btw, have you tried to run the zalman fan for 12V?
they really perform lousier than the coolermaster?

yea. dismount the heatsink, take off the fan shroud(the black cover) and put a fan there to blow it.
No need to replace the whole heatsink then.

ya, amazingly the temp is without fan on the heatsink but he does have a fan at the 5.25" slot down there
what's wrong with you? PCI slot lah~
