Zalman VF1000 LED

Zitat: The VF1000 LED VGA cooler from Zalman is an excellent product. It achieved both better performance and less noise level than the stock cooler of our GeForce GTS 250. If that was not enough, the cooler looks nice, with the all-copper heatsink and the fan with blue LED. And the Fan Mate 2 fan controller is very effective, with the possibility of being placed inside or outside the case. The installation is quite simple, and it has five hole sets, so it can be installed on most video cards. There are a few issues, however. First, it does not push the hot air from the cooler to the outside, which can increase the internal case temperature, when compared to the stock cooler (that pushes the air to the outside). So, you will need to care about case airflow in order to be sure this hot air will not affect overall cooling. The second factor is the price: the VF1000 LED is not inexpensive. But, considering how much noise you will get rid of, it may be a fair price to pay. Because of its temperature and noise performance, the Zalman VF1000 LED VGA cooler receives the Hardware Secrets Golden Award.

Zitat: Approved-Award Paying £30 on top of the cost of your graphics card is quite a lot - in fact, it´s money that could have gone towards buying a better card in the first place. However, if you already have a sufficiently fast graphics card, but are annoyed by its noise or

Zitat: Pros: Beautiful massive copper design Designed to fit most video cards Excellent performance, dropped load temps over 30C Does its job in silence Easy installation on most cards Cons: Some video cards may be of a design that prevents simple installation, probably never a problem on longer cards Once again, Zalman has created an excellent product that does exactly what it is supposed to do and more. The VF-1000LED is a video card cooler that provides excellent cooling in silence. It is quite beautiful, if you like copper, with its large expanse of fins and heatpipes. At fan levels low enough to be inaudible, it dropped my load temps more than 30C under the stock cooler. Installation was a breeze, or would have been had it not been the weird design of the PCI bracket on my video card. Z
