 Great Cooler
Reviewer: zardiw (1)
Totally silent at low speed. There were some issues when installing on an ATI X1950:
I just installed a Zalman VF1000 Led Graphics cooler on an X1950.
Results (At Idle):
Original Graphics Card Cooler: PCB Temp: 51 GPU Temp: 55.4 Fan Speed: 31% Zalman VF1000 LED Graphics Cooler PCB Temp: 33 GPU Temp: 38 Zalman Fan Controller
BUT, there are some issues. For one, Zalman only gives you 8 of those little blue Ram heatsinks.......and you need one more Big one for a bigger chip on the board (Voltage controller?)
I decided to use the big horshoe looking copper looking thingie (it''s just copper coated aluminum btw) that was there originally. However, I had to grind the fins down for the Zalman to fit......about 3/16ths or so. It just unscrews with 4 screws and has the tape thermal dealies. Careful you don''t lose one. Took awhile to grind that much down, but I got a metal cutoff saw that worked by pressing the fins up against the flat of the blade while it was spinning. Also have a belt sander table top model that worked well.
Also I used that 7 Carat Diamond thermal paste.......good stuff.....once it settles in the temps should be even lower.............z
 Cooler very ineffective

This was a great design but this comes nowhere close to the performance of a Thermalright HR03 Plus on any NVIDIA 8800 GTS/X. This may be cheaper but not worth your time or investment. Poor fan speen control and cooling effectiveness minimized because of the placement of the fan.
WOW!!!!

I had to add to this review; this cooler rocks and with the included video ram coolers provided it is an all in one solution to cool most of the fast gpus. check this http://www.techenclave.com/graphic-cards/help-regarding-xfx-8600gt-105201-5.html
Fantastic results!!!

My GPU temps dropped 15C over stock cooling! If you get this, get the RAM heatsink kit as well. However, there is one semi-serious problem with this heatsink. I have two 8800GTS''s (G80) and I can''t use my solid SLi bridge. One of the heatpipe ends protrudes high enough to block it from being installed. If you plan to install a couple of these on an SLi system, you''ll also have to get a flexible SLi bridge.
Baddest MOFO!!!

I have tried many other coolers (Duorb)ect. and they dont even come close to this one! My idle temps went from 60c to 44c, load temps 70c to 56c running 3DMark06 and Crysis all highest settings with being over clocked 675/2000 on 8800GTXOC. I highly recomend the optioal ram heatsink for $29.95 It not only cools the ram but the GPU also. When I get second card I will be getting second cooler for sure.
Great!

I have an 8800 GTX. At stock speeds with the stock hsf, it idled at 50*C and loaded at 72*C (in Crysis) with the fan set at 100%. After switching to this Zalman VF1000 along with the matching ram sink kit, and I also added 2 80mm fans for active cooling on the i/o chipset, ram, and voltage regulators, idle is now 40*C and load is 54*C (Crysis after 1 hour). I highly recommend this product. The only thing to take note of is that for installation, you better know what you''re doing. I''m very experienced and it took me between 60-90 minutes for everything, granted I did some of my own mods to the kit at the same time, but overall, I don''t think I''d be doing anybody any favors if I didn''t point that, to do the VF1000 + the ramsink kit, it will take some time, you need to be patient, and careful. :) This is a great product. 5-star recommendation.
Absolutely amazing

gpu temps would skyrocket to 55-60c at Idle. Not any more Idle temps are now at 44c with all fans on my antec 900 at low, or off. At full load after2 passes of 3D mark 06 My 8800GTX stay at a cool 54-56c. Zalman is the best!
BEST COOLER AROUND

I have two of these on my 8800GTX cards and temps at idle are 50c and never go over 60c under load. Get this and the chip set cooler that goes with this heat sink and be happy. You could water cool your card but with the temps you get with this it''s a lot cheaper.
Very happy and of course FrozenCpu rocks.
Is your 8800GT running hot?

Bought a new 8800GT to play Crysis but it would crash in 5 minutes. It idled at 53 deg C with the stock cooler. After installing the VF1000 the card idles at 38 deg C and never reaches 70. My 3DMark 06 went up from 10,200 on a 8800GTS to 12,700 with the Zalman cooled 8800GT (it would only reach 10,200 with stock cooling).
