Elsa is quite famous but not here. Their card has one of the best after-market cooler i have seen thus far. They always use Zerotherm, CM, Zalman or their own personal cooler. Very nice card indeed...

Yea, seems really good card. What i am more interested is, how well does the Zerotherm cooler performs on this card..

OKish NFS:carbon fraps.  but what type of fps do you get when you get out of the garage lol.  Also no AA/AF enabled?

Ya would be nice to know how noisy and hot it gets when overclocked with that cooler compared to other cards.

AFAIK, this cooler performs really well on my cousin's 7600GS. Getting roughly about 36 - 40c on his 7600GS but not sure how well it could perform in comparison with the stock 8600GT cooler. This Zerotherm is also roughly the same performance as the GX810 as well. Beautiful cooler indeed...

hmm.gif looking at the appearance it looks much more like Taiwanese manufacturer style. Usually western brand such as XFX really make good looking card in every segment.

The reason XFX looks cool to me is because of their Black PCB. However, they doesnt come paired with a cool looking aftermarket HSF though..lol..

For Zerotherm products, can join my bulk to get ur hands on some nice coolers HERE
akachester: Since u've been using it for awhile, how do u find it's performance compared to the stock or any others like Zalman ? Is it really that quiet ?

Well, i got both the GX810 and GX710 (owned by my cousin). Anyway, both come with slightly different features :

GX810 - With LED light, automatic fan controller. Very easy to assemble and come with both Xfire/SLI compatible mounting. What this means is that they include 2 different type of screws to mount the cooler. One is those big thumb screw for easy installation (Really very easy) and another type is smaller type so it wont block another card during SLI/Xfire.

GX710 - No LED, no automatic fan controller. Only one type of screw available and cant be switch to another direction. Must be only in one direction or else, it clashes with alot of stuff...

Both of them are really quite. Cant even hear any noise from the cooler itself. Looks wise, i am really satisfied (the reason i get the cooler ini the first place)..

Anyway, performance wise, to be honest, there is not much difference between the GX810 and GX710. Even though the GX810 is BIGGER than the GX710, the performance are roughly the same. Not sure about Zalman cause i drop that idea after i get the Zerotherm. If compared to stock Palit/Galaxy cooler, it almost make a drastic drop of 6 - 8c of the card. My 7300GT was idling at about 55c when on stock cooler and it went to 46 - 48c when i change to Zerotherm. Very nice cooler indeed.

Thats why i am saying its nice to see Zerotherm cooler on Elsa products. They are solid performers even though it might not look/known as one..
