Can't get this going on my X800 GTO. How are you guys cutting the fins? Hacksaw is so sloppy.

guys, what yours idle and load temp with the Zalman 7000? Ive just put an stock X2 cooler on my GTX, idle 38C and load = 50C regardless clock :p
piccy :D

How did you mount that cooler...?

I used zip tie :D, theres no room for bolts :pQuote:

Umm but you got zalman 9500cu there already :confused:Quote:

But I'm more then happy with my Zalman as it is now.... :toast:

What are your idle/load temps and with what clocks/voltages. Though theres prolly not that much help for me cus im running a X1800XT which runs warmer. Wonder how much there would be difference with 9500cu and this 7000Al-Cu.
Clock speeds are 500/1350 for 24/7 usage on stock volts... idle 37C, under 2 hours of full load 50-51C.. GPU ambient temperature is 31C... room temperature 20C
Upping the core to 520 will increase the load temps by 1-2C... unfortunatley anything above 520 requires more volts..

On my GT with the 7000AlCu at 525/1240 1.5vGPU at full load with ambient temperature of 30 C I never go beyond 54 degrees.
LOL i thought i had a bad overclocker GTX. Mine did something like 565/1380 with stock volts. Not with 20c ambient though.. somewhere around 10c. With 7000Al-CuQuote:

Then, I took my XP-90 cooler, removed the retaining clips, and slotted the screw hole that holds the retaining clips. It fit perfect on my card, using the zalmans hardware.. but didn't fit in the case; the heat pipes keep it from going all the way into the PCI-E slot. It looks so nice though, such a shame.
Being bored, and feeling like creating something, i now need a new cooler for my x1800 xl :(
Very nice thinking, i dont think we will see a competitor for this kind of videocard cooling from zalman/arctic cooling ever :toast:Quote:

Sume4 you mounted it on an X1800XT is it possible to take some pictures of this setup ?
I assume the mounting is exactly the same as with al the GTX/GT but i havent seen any pictures of it mounted to an ATI card.
I CAN take some sweet juicy pics of my x1800xt with 7000Al-Cu now when im at my cousins place lanpartying. Pics coming tomorrow.Quote:

Oh and you got the sweet 9500cu on your GPU. I guess i didnt have that bad GTX afterall.
Nope you don't... mine is just a pile of @#$% OC wise...
Tried just about everything.. switched power cables, lowered ambient temps, killed all unneeded processes, unhooked devices to dedicate all the power to the GPU but it simply fails at 520+Mhz... :(

So basically you have to change to Radeon X1800XT or X1900XT :p: nvidia is ivil sometimes:DQuote:

I mounted the CNPS-7000B-Cu to my X1800XT massive improvements .... >:)
Temps : stock idle = 57~60C / Zalman 35~38C
Stock max core = 710 mem = 830
With Zalman max core = 755 mem = 875
Both with stock voltage :)
Had to cut the fan blades a bit though they where hitting the other pci-x slot but solved nicely :)
Very nice results guys, i applaud you, for fiting these coolers on ya cards.
I haven't got the bottle, so ive orderd this off ViperJohn:

OK fittet the Zalman7000Alcu on my X1800XT.
Got myself i nice quit card now.
The fan did interfer with the PCI-slots, so I have to use the second PCI-E slot.
Im using some Revoltec BGA RAM FREEZER Cooper Edition for my ram, but they are begining to fall off. What would be the best ramheatsinks to mount?
And is it a good idea to use Thermal Adhesive, and is it posible to get the ramheatsinks off again if using adhesive?
AS5 is a quite tough stuff for add on those small heatsinks.Quote:

Got me some Swiftechs instead -they are much better.
And I´m very please with this Zalman on my GPU now.
When using the lowest PCI-E slot now, the cooler is about 10mm from the bottom of my case. I then cut a round hole at the bottom of my case -at the size og the cooler. So know it takes cold/fresh air from the outside into the case.
I can know run my card at 1,55V 750/850mhz almost noiseless. Compared with the stockcooler this is just amazing:banana:
I have never got such at hardOC gfx-card running this cool on air.
By the way; What is the higest safe voltage to give the X1800XT?
[QUOTE=mbm]Dunno really about the voltages. Ive run 1.525v over 3dmark06.Quote:
