    There is a big thread that compares the VF900 to Arctic Coolings new stuff. You should check it out, a lot of people are saying that the VF900 is not a huge step above the VG700.

    If you want the best retail cooler it would be the Thermalright Ultra V1. The Zalman is probably the weakest of the name brand coolers. The Accelero is ever better than the Zalman.
    The little air system that could.

    You can bend the heatpipes so it comes up at a 90 degree angle and cut an air intake in the side of your case. I saw a guy do it and it was pretty damned impressive.
