| Good quiet nvidia 8800GTX or Ultra cooler?
Has anyone tried a VF1000 LED on an 8800? »www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/vie···code=013
Will it be able to keep a non-overclocked 8800GTX or 8800Ultra cool at 22dB? |

| I kept my stock cooler on a EVGA 8800GTX 768meg...its fairly quiet.
The VF1000 was reviewed with a few other 8800 coolers.

| reply to DCMcKinney I have one on my card right now. Havent had any problems with the cooler. I did however have a problem fitting it into my case. One of the memory slots gets in the way IF you have a chip in the slot. |

 Perfect fit for 2x80mm. |  Doesn't look too shabby either. |
You can increase the effectiveness of the VF-1000/RHS88 if you rip out the HORRIBLE Zalman fan and strap on 2x quiet 80mm fans - in my case, 2x 80mm Nexus fans (both at 100% speed). Takes up a full 4-slots, though. This setup keeps my heavily-OCed 8800GTS640 at 64C at full load (which is good for an 8800GTS640) and its exponentially quieter than the stock Zalman fan at 100%. |

| reply to DCMcKinney Theres always the thermalright HR-03 series, they claim to be able to run fanless, but I hear t takes up a full 4 card slots when used with a standard width fan in under the card mode as it can go either hang under or wrap over the card. the HR-03 Plus »www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/···aWFzdA== has 2 extra heatpipes from the looks of things, so that may be a nice model to look at. Has anyone seen any benchmarks of the HR-03 Plus being used fanless with the HR-11 »www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/···aWFzdA== backside cooler? Every time I see anyone use the HR-11 it's being used as an addon for the stock cooler, but never as part of a full fanless setup. -- Please visit »duo-maxwell.stumbleupon.com/ - »heatedebates.net/ - »microsuck.com/forums/index.php - »libertynewstv.com - »innworldreport.net/ - »freespeech.org |
