based on what ive read, it seems very much like the swiftech hsf.
its just that this is rounder, and wider in a sense.
this should outperform the swiftech one easy

yes...coz same design concepts... but i still love my hr-05 ...imo no one can eer come close to it....

is this the only product make from forging method?

i think swiftech's one is forged in one solid piece too, though, i have yet to see its performace

Wow..that enzo looks..."cute".lol..It does really outperform every other nb cooler out there?Thats surprising..

the zalman looks like flower one good or not? becos i cant find any better chipset cooler oleidi..

Better than stock nb but not as good as those TR and Noctua i guess..My friend who is using DFI Lanparty Venus is complaining about the flower being too hot.But the temperature is still better than the stock DFI nb cooler...

but my mobo cannot support those "tower" chipset cooler ma.. the big typhoon vx block their way, shawty recommend me pccooler but cant find in msia..

Hi guys,
I'm using a DFI LP NF4 Ultra-d, and i'm not happy with what the stock DFI chipset cooler is doing.
I'm using a Galaxy 7300GT where 1 cm of my card is actually on the mobo's stock cooler.

I'm looking for a 3rd party cooler to do the job, and tight on budget, anything value for money which will fit my mobo to recommend?

Uglyvamp is organising a 8800GTS bulk now, why don't u pm him regarding the NB-400CU?

It's better to wait for a week for the delivery from uglyvamp than waiting forever just to find someone's who's willing to sell that heatsink to you in here.

many DFI nF4 users change to Evercool VC-RE / VC-RF

i use teh hr-05 for my ultra d... i think can fit coz the hr-05 is very flexible in mounting... but if u wan budget , u cant go wrong with teh evercool, or the pc cooler ones... cheap... and works at leats beter than stck,...

I agree with you on this.The evercool seems to be a good choice for DFI NF4 users.Its not that expensive as well and not to mention good performance..

The Zalman flower is ok but doesnt really work well..You can still feel the great amount of heat.

Thanx for the suggestion guys.
Seems the best choice will be the VC-RE/VC-RF since i'm tight on budget. I'd like the HR-05 SLI but just out of my budget.
@Shawty, can give special discount ar?

But i have another question here, will the VC-RF fit directly without any modding? Cz VC-RE is a vga/chipset cooler while VC-RF is only labelled as a vga cooler. Just curious.

Special discount aa?
Cannot la boss..

Anyway, i don't think there should be any clearance problem fitting VC-RF on you're motherboard.

It should be a perfect fit.

i tried to pm uglyvamp since u recommended me the chipset cooler.. but until now still no news from him. I try to contact him again.. got any alternative to that in case he really din get in the thing again?

teh evercool wan is the same design as teh tstock hsf, just materials and finishing is beter...also bigeer surface area if i remember correcly...

not quite as shiny

not to offend....

the zalman flower type(screwing fins together) seems shinier
maybe the viewing angle....

edit: shiny here is smooth.......

seems to look very good. but i think its performance will lose out to thermalright.
as for the base not being shinny, that isnt a very big factor, well not as far as im concerned coz the area of heat absoprtion is rather small
