New VGA cooler from ZEROtherm: CoolMaxx

[matose]

ZEROTherm is rather a new name in the cooling industry (or at least for westerners it is). However, their products have a good price/performance ratio, and in the last 2 years we have enjoyed a wide variety of cooling solutions for CPU (Nirvana, FZ120, etc) or GPU (Hurricane), with a decent price tag and outstanding performance. Things have been quite calm during the last few months, untill we saw some new VGA's at Computex cooled by some very interesting heatsinks. So we wanted to know more. So we found out (in exclusivity for the world wide web) about ZEROTherm's masterplan, to launch the Coolmaxx series durign the next month. The Coolmaxx series is made out of 3 different models, all designed for the modern GPU's.

cool lookin design

[breakfromyou]

not to be confused with the company Coolmax...

that heatsink does look pretty nifty.

its look pretty l337 with the black, correct me if i am wrong but 48dba for low fan speed @ 29CFM and only cools 6C better than stock cooling

at guru3d a gtx 275's max dba under load is 34-40dba

Thanks for the news, helps to keep options open for after market cooling

for lazy people

Looks like one of the Zalman coolers

Looks like it would work well in an HTPC environment to help keep the profile of the card low.

Looks like one of the Zalman coolers

Yeah, pretty much Zalman looking, can be easily mistaken as one.

Anyway, I like that F-117 emblem, BFF tech..

Zerotherm usually has perversely high finish on their products, I love them. I've used a few of their products, I've never been unhappy with them, really.

This Cooler shows alot of potential and from tests it looks very decent. I might buy one

[Monstru]

Well, he Hurricane is still my favourite Zerotherm, but I am anxious to see how these perform.

[perkam]

Looks very nice:



You can probably mod the reference 4890 cooler to have this inside the cooler with the fan and the sticker on top.

ZEROtherm vga coolers are verry strong, i want to see powerful coolers for cpu's also. It is a company with great potential but i don't see that on cpu coolers

[Monstru]

Some may disagree with you, thinking about Nirvana and FZ120. But for them to understand better, you shoulld tell them that you are a die hard TRUE Copper and Megahalems fan, and those are inded much sturdier then ZT CPU coolers

[clayton]

Anything with black color looks good. Lol.

Looks like e-tailers are finally stocking it:

Arctic Cooling Accelero is much cheaper.

Looks are fantastic.

[MrMojoZ]

Arctic Cooling Accelero is much cheaper.

That price isn't too far off a water block.

What size are the heat pipes on the coolmaxx 3000 6mm, 8mm or 10mm?

If their 8mm combined with the 2 fans it may be the best vga cooler yet. However the 2,700 rpm of the fans sounds like they will be fairly loud.

[matose]

From what I know they are 8mm and yes... the looks are fantastic
