Zalman cooler for x800/6800 series cards

krips · Nov 8, 2004, 07:15 AM

I've been doing some reading. Zalman will be coming out with a VGA cooling solution for these cards in "the next few months". Has anyone heard anything about the release date, what I will look like, specs? Anything?

probably gigantic aluminum heatsinks (passive) with heat pipes (2?)

and an optional Fan.. like the one I'm currently using

So probably something very similar to the ZM80D then, with some compatablilty changes? Hopefully it's a different color that that blue...that doesn't match anything.

they should come in silver too, i would think

I would consider the Arctic silencers before committing to a zalman. The ACs blow hot air out of the case also. I think I saw a comparison recently.

The Silencers are good. I have a rev 3 myself, however the Zalman has more class. Plus, I've got a mod in mind.

Looks like it could cool very well but the ramisinks seem like they could use some beefing up

The Zalmans are sure pretty, I give you that.

I wonder if the ALCu is that much different in temp. The Cu must be pretty heavy.
