i bought zalman vf-900 cu half year ago for my x1600 PRO. recently i just upgrade my gc to 7600GT. but before buying the 7600GT, i checked the zalman website and it said that vf-900 is compatible for 7600 Series. so i just go a head for the exellent gc. when i want to put vf-900 cu to 7600GT, i found out that the screw hole is wider than the lenght that vf-900 cu can reach. i check with zalman website again, i'm 100% sure that 7600 series is stated in the compatible list. then i saw the maximum lenght that vf-900 cu can reach is 75.5mm, then i measure the screw lenght and i got appoximately 80mm.  i'm dissapointed with zalman website, because vf-900 cu is a very good heatsink. last time my x1600 pro goes up until 60 degree Celciusm, after using the heatsink, it drops until 44 degree celcius. can anyone give me some solutions ? thansk...... http://www.zalman.co.kr/ |

What brand of 7600GT you're using?
Some brands don't follow the nvidia's default specs so the PCB layout might be different.

Agree with Enigmatic... there are so many card released by different manufacturer and few may not follow the standard layout of the PCB ...
so u can't blame Zalman as sometimes the graphic card is released after the cooler manufactured...therefore it is natural for them not able to meet every card released ...

That doesn't make you cheated, it's normal for this kind of problem to happen...  I think, you shouldn't report it here, instead, report it to Zalman themselves... Why? Because if u report it here, there's nothing that we can do except for feel pity for you...  sHäwTY(tm)This post has been edited by sHawTY: Nov 19 2006, 10:40 PM |

Is your graphic card this?  http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2006/06/3...0_gt_tdh/2.html Well.... Zalman might not have the resource and time to keep updating on all latest model of graphic cards though. And sometimes graphic card company tends to go on with their own PCB and own cooler. So it pretty much messes up everything. Maybe you can choose another option of GPU cooling for your graphic card. Sell off your current cooler if you need to then. |

Sell off your current cooler if you need to then. agreed some company tends to make their own pcb winfast for instance use very good capacitor and ram for their GC i own their FX5700 vanilla using SAMSUNG chips and SOLID cap unlike other brands.U cant fully blame zalman on this.as enigmatic said better sell it then.to me perhaps  |
