comparing the ATI cooler to the zalman on a noise level just didn't seem fair :D

and yes this is a must have upgrade In My Opinion < left that out soz :P

Oh, I gotcha now! I need to read more carefully. :fact:

Showed 5 in stock when I ordered.

Obviously picture doesn't match spec, but I'm hoping I get lucky.

Edit: Shows 19 in stock now!

Better make that 18 :D

Did anyone test the VF900CU on a 7900GT?
They say they are compatible with 7900 series but I am not sure till I see one placed

oh look, the VF-900 is not only smaller, quieter, and easier to install, it is also better at cooling http://www.ocia.net/reviews/vf900/page5.shtml

Umm, in the round up here: http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=525 the Zalman doesn't seem to do as good...

Looks like the Thermalright V-1 Ultra could be the one to get according to those results :shrug:

has anybody else had any experience with these coolers?
are they really as good as that review made out?

I had the V-1 but it really isn't that great of a performer.. a VF-700 beat it down..

wow, you wouldn't think that according to legion hardware :confused:
those results show the v-1 and the v-1 ultra outperforming the competition by quite a large ammount
user error or biased review?

i just want whatever (air cooler) will give me the lowest load temps :shrug:

This is what I mean. No user (or very few) actually have the VF900 for real world testing. I see some sites saying the V1 kicks ass, others say the VF900, it is all over the place. The 7800GTX runs quite a bit cooler than the X1900XTX as well which really makes me wonder how people are raving about how the VF900 will do on the X1900XTX when there is a lot of testing yet to be done.

You mean like this review http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=93645 ;)

Yes, I read that review. If you went through it thoroughly, you would see I have posted a couple times on the flaws of his testing method, and why I have my doubts on his results. The fact that others have backed up my feelings, as well as the fact that the thread starter never bothered to defend his methods, or try suggestions from other users including myself, means I will take his review very, very lightly.

I'll have one soon, I'll be comparing it with my current zalman fs-v7. I'm going to run 5 loops of 3d05, log temps, and then replace and repeat.

if you really want to see how hot your gpu can get loop 3DMARK01 nature about 30 times with no title screen between loops and watch it get quite high. I find next to nothing gets your gpu quite as hot as a loop of nature 01. It takes less than 1 min to complete a run so for less than 30 mins you get a very good representation on the temperature of your card which is about how long it takes to really get heated up anyhow. These 5-10 min runs are barely getting the card started.
