Ditto that, or the Arctic Cooler VGA Silencer. The Zalman has to rely more
on a really good case exhausting system IMHO, otherwise the heat tends to
stick around a little, whereas the Arctic vents out the back of the case.
6 of 1, half a dozen of the other to be honest, and would depend upon your
setup. Used a Zalman on a 9800 pro in an Antec P160 case (cracking
ventilation) and the Arctic on a 9700 Pro in a slightly crappier case with
not much ventilation.
YMMV and all that though.

Yupper man I use the Zalman ZM80C-HP (the one with the fan) on a 9800
Pro. Very nice and quiet along with the Zalman CPU fan in a
Thermaltake Xaser II case. Two fans in the front, two in the rear and
another on the door. I still wish I could get it cooler inside. It
idles at 33.5c and plays hard games at 35c inside. The mobo monitor
says CPU on die is 45c.

Yeah thats the one i want my Fan on my Card is driving me NUTS, my cpu
fan is much more quiet
.
Getting rid of the Northbridge and Vid card fan.
Ive got decent cooling 1 120mm fan at from, one at side 2 80mm at back
and soon to be a 120mm on side and one on top, all runnign 7 volts
should be enough airflow for the cooler wihout adding another fan to
it.
Thanks.

yeah, I still needed a fan on the heatsink, and for hardcore gaming I have a
case fan pointed at the card to work extra, so the noise factor hasn't been
removed, but I was able to knock up to 15'c from the cards temp, from 75'c
(stock hsf) down to 60'c

I bought a dog the other day... I named him Stay. It's fun to call
him... "Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he just
ignores me and keeps typing. - Stephen Wright
