Which Zalman Fan ?

Silverfox · Apr 12, 2008, 06:17 PM

I recently purchased an ATI x850 Pro AGP ViVo card for an older rig I have and need to know what the difference is between the Zalman VF700 versus the Zalman VF900 in regards to actual cooling ability. Is the 900 worth the extra cost if it will only cool the card a few degrees more then the 700 or is it drastically better ?

I only paid $35.00 for the video card but would like to provide better cooling for it versus the stock fan & HS.

Thanks for any replys.

hi,

i've got vf900cu and i must say that i'm more than happy. i didn't actually see any test between them, but as far as i saw at the shop when i compared them i thought that vf900 is a bit more "massive", and nicer

so i bought it...result: my oc-ed radeon 725/800 -> 900/1030 @ 40°C full load...rams are a bit warm...

the larger heatsink sometimes indicates better cooling... but that's not always the best way to measure lol.
