I know it should be out really soon but they say it's already in stock and this store is pretty reliable.
Lol. I love it how all the big hardware companies jump on the Fatal1ty bandwagon. One appearance on MTV and they think the guy is a celebrity with the kids. They're just trying to make as much money as possible, and who can blame them? And Fatal1ty, too. That guy has got to be loaded...
MAkes you wonder if it will be able to cool an X1900XTX. I know the VF-900 can't.
Well i like the new coler instead of the red ones they used to make.

A quick lapping will remove the nickel coating. I really can't understand why anyone would coat copper with nickel on a heatsink. Copper has about 10x the thermal conductivity. It seems to me that the nickel is just a big waste of money.
You're going to lap all the fins and heatpipes down to the copper? There won't be anything left, maybe a bit of paper thin copper and after all that time, you could've just bought a vf900-cu?Quote:

i dont see what other thing he could be talking about then, unless it was red andonized aluminum which ive never seen zalman make.
the previous Fatal1ty Zalman was anodized red, with matching ramsinks.

Compared to VF-900 Cu:
The Zalman VF900-Cu is the ultimate quiet cooler for video cards due to its pure copper heatsink and dual heatpipes for maximum performance. Ultra-thin (0.2mm) copper fins minimises airflow resistance and supplied with a Zalman FanMate 2 controller to balance cooling and noise.

And this is the VF-900 Cu LED version:

So they're exactly the same apart from colour and the fact already stated that the FC-ZV9 has a faster fan lol.
The VF900Cu-Led is already loud and they release another version with a louder fan!?? lol
Yup, Zalamn anodised the Wendy coolers.
Didnt know he'd been on MTV... why? He plays computer games...hardcore overclockers are cooler than him :p:
I`ve had one Wendy product...the Abit NF4 SLI board. I`ll never buy anything else with his name on it.
He's not a bad guy...he's just trying to cash in on his skills as a gamer. And why not? If I was that good, I'd try and make cash from it, too. But yeah...Fatal1ty products are a waste of money. They had a poll at the Abit website to see what people liked about the new Fatal1ty mobo and the number one answer was "flashing LED lights". Lol...throw some lights and a Fatal1ty name on something and you can jack the price up 50%.
so does the coating on the fins/heatpipe affect performance ?
I really dont like the guy, however, I want to get this cooler for one simple reason.... red LED which matches my mod perfectly.
The red and black does look pretty slick.... but since I've already got a VF900, no need to buy another really.
They should just sell varying vf900cu's that have a wider range of fanspeeds for those of us that don't care about noise.
VF900Cu-1 - 1,350 - 2,400
VF900Cu-2 - 1,350 - 3,600
VF900Cu-3 - 2,400 - 4,800 :)
i have this fan with the x1900xtx and it cant cool it at all
with fan at 100%, 3d mode, no ocing, on load 80c
freaking sucks man, dont buy this :banana::banana::banana::banana:
unless i did something wrong, this hsf sucks ass
