Woow... nice temp you have there, naked or with casing?

It's with casing. In a room without air-con.

The version of Zalman HSF is VF 1050. Heard of it?

ooo the big new zalman fan???? The shop i bought my 8800GT from told me about new product of it... LOL... ask me to grab it .. LOL... abit gila la them.... wat casing u using anyway?? with how many fan in and exhaust?

Ya the big one which covers 3/4 of the card and also a small heatsink at the end near the 6-pin connector.
I heard they said this is a limited edition and not all shops have it. So i decided to go for this brand rather than others. Where Colorful originated from? Must be a lousy brand i guess since i didnt actually hear it from anywhere. sad.gif
Any review on this GC? Pls let me know...

I'm using Lian-Li PC-7 with 2 fans at the front, 1 at the side panel for intake, 1 at the rear and 1 at the top for exhaust.

I reckon that was the Zalman VF700 if not mistaken.

Zalman coolers really are still very usable eventhough that model was quite old. The temp sure doesn't disappoint both idle and load.

It's similar to this one
http://www.silentpcreview.com/article769-page1.html

Check out the copper one. Mine is similar with that just that mine is red in colour and curve-shaped heat sink. Also, with 4 heatpipes.

Ya.. exactly like this one... i mean.. this is the one... they are HK if i'm not mistaken....

Do you notice there's a black cable near the exhaust? I wonder what the cable is for? it has 2 small heads (like the USB connectors that connect to mobo.

hey when u do benchies with 3dmark.. when u get ur result... can u click close 1st... then press back option to get the score back... so we can see the score for SM2 SM3 and CPU at the most rightside of 3dmark window..... instead of just overall score... like the pic i attached... anyway that is mine with 745/1838/2136 without increasing voltage


Added on February 2, 2008, 4:37 pm

nice card, i guess i will have good temp since that is similar with zalman VF1000 that i mention earlier... SHOW US UR BENCHIES!!!!  drool.gif how much is it?

u have to find out urself for this.... actually ur not allowed to talk bout this here.. tongue.gif...

anyway u dont have to unlock it (just for standard bench where every1 using same 3dmark setting)... just finish bench.. click close for the overall score(dont close 3dmark yet)....then after u close u will see ur most right sided of 3dmark will list down the SM2 SM3 and CPU score instead of N/A.... then click back option at the most right of ur 3dmark to get back ur overall score and take screeny... this is bcoz we are interested in SM2/SM3 score instead of overall coz 3dmark06 is CPU dependant too(CPU score).... so SM2/SM3 is basically ur GPU score. if u get better CPU, then ur overall score will be higher... tongue.gif

correct me if im wrong.....
*
oh...ic.. will try that out later....

But i still cant solve the RT issue. Can detect everything just that cant set it to other fan speed.
anyone experiencing this too?

urs is the card with the zalman hsf isn it??
dont worry, running a fan at 100% of it's rated speed dont mean that they'll spoil faster.
heck i even run my tt bigtyphoon vx fan 100% for more than a year now, and my 1.5 years old tt thunderblade case fan still works fine  smile.gif
*
hopefully nothing bad will happen to my GC... cost me quite alot actually.... sweat.gif cry.gif

So since it runs at 100%, can i OC it higher? what is the recommended clock speed? i'm kinda noob in OC-ing..
By default it is 600mhz/900mhz.

I found out something weird about my GC...
The first time i tested 3DMark06 it was 9700+
Now.. i tested it again.... to my surprise.. it has dropped to 9100+

How could this happen?

Pls advice....

alright.. i'll try it again....


Added on February 3, 2008, 5:47 pmI've read some reviews from Guru3d. They said that 8800GT's ref fan cycle speed is incorrect. So although it stated 100%, actually it is not...

Is this correct?

yes the ref fan cycle speed is incorrect, so the best is use rivatuner to tune the fan speed.

That means the RT's ref cycle speed is incorrect, right?
