i have a geforce 4 ti4600 & would like to know how many of you are using/recomend the zalman heatpipe due to being no fan etc woul like the feedback from you.

after the couple of reviews I've seen on it... only one said it's a good overclocker, and that was on a 9700pro.
the rest wasn't too fond on overclocking, I really am confused on this man Giant II vs Zalman Heatpipe.

Now I saw one review on the GiantII and the improvement was minimal, one degree less than stock cooling

what a mess dude... if i had to make a decision, I'd take the Zalman Heatpipe and put a fan on it ;/

To be honest I've heard a lot better results from the ThermalTake GF4 cooling kit, I was looking at it before I got rid of my GF4.

Yeah johnny, since your running a GF4. I suggest you get the Abit OTES cooling system from excaliberpc.com (I think...).
Probably a lot better than the Giant II or Zalman Heatpipe (< wishes they had OTES for Radeon's...)

Here you go http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_i...oducts_id=2350
hope its not just for replacement.

oh well, enjoy..

That's a cute cooler for $20us, but you'd best pick up some ramsinks too...does this one cover the ram?

I donno about that GiantII dude... the size of that thing really complies with it's name "GIANT"

I'd go with the Zalman, but whatever you choose.... I bet ya both will perform about the same.
