Thermaltake DuOrb vs Zalman VF900-CU (lots of pics)
The test is very simple,i just had to stress the card for about 6mins and the results are very impressive 
Stock HSF
Stock HSF fan @ 50%
Idle : 52º C
Load : 74º C
 
Stock HSF fan @ 100%
Idle : 45º C
Load : 70º C
 
Zalman VF900-CU
Zalman Vf900-CU fan @ 1350rpm
Idle : 39º C
Load : 57º C
 
Zalman Vf900-CU fan @ 2400rpm
Idle : 38º C
Load : 50º C
 
Thermaltake DuOrb
Idle : 34º C
Load : 41º C
 
Thermaltake vs Zalman
VF900-CU It's quiet, quality, easy to install and performs well ,The VF900 is really small especially when compared to the DuOrb, which is about twice as heavy and twice large,well... the Zalman is no contest for the Thermaltake,there s about a 9C difference between them, ,if it's performance that you want, get the Thermaltake
pics
    
    
VGA->X1950Pro 512mb
Room temp->25C-26C

i have more tests to share.
The case is a Coolermaster Stacker with no air flow and of course is with the side panel closed and the room temp -> 24C
CPU-> Q6700 @ 3400mhz
MB-> DFI RD600
CPU Cooler-> Auras CTC-868
NB-> passive
DDR2 Cooler-> Thermaltake Spirit RS
HDD-> Raptor 10k x 4
ATI Stock HSF
Thermaltake DuOrb
the NB drooped from 62c to 56C and the cpu went from 50/45/44/47 to 47/43/42/43

Great review Looks like slapping on dual VF700 kind of works I've made a graph for those who want to see everything in one shot.

What's the significance of Load - Idle temps?
Delta should be Load - Ambient temps.
Interesting that CPU temps went down too...I can see why though (the card artificially chambers the heat and because the card is physically cooler with the better HSF, it allows less heat to transverse to the CPU area).

you rite
the RD600 is a big problem ,in bad conditions it hits 60C+ easily and part of that heat went to cpu area

Tt works great(it's my opinion) with a low level of noise and don`t need any speed controller,its only 21dBA @ 2500rpm
Zalman you can adjust by yourself the speed
in silent mode -> 18dBA @ 1350rpm
in normal mode-> 25dBA @ 2400rpm

sorry for the delay.
Asus 8800GTX + Tt DuOrB
I was testing and re-checking all the tests and looking for a possible mistake in the instalation and the contact was perfect ,I have tried several times but in all tests the 8800's core reached 100c.....
here is the numbers
idle 48c load 100c
 
idle 47c load 104c
 
How it can be great with X1950 and so bad with 8800...I'm very confused 
Thermal paste-> Artic Silver AS5
Room temp->25c

8800GTX puts out much more heat than the X1950, saturating the duorb? Would be my guess, it just can't handle the heatload.

Must be something wrong, you'd think it'd perform better than the stock hsf

When it's loaded, it may just be too much heat for those two (low cost) heatpipes to handle...idle temps are very, very good.
