Please log in for more thread options time to time, and I was wondering about one of those zalman products: http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=139 or this one: http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=144 What do you think of them? The second looks better to me, but I see there is also a difference in the way they are connected to power. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Good coolers - and yes they both connect to a 3-pin fan socket on the motherboard so make sure you have one available. The VF900 is essential for a high end card like a 8800GT but for anything else the VF700 would do. I put a VF900 on my ATI 3850 and run it at half speed - still my card doesnt go over 52 celsius when playing Crysis and its quieter than the stock cooler. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

You can get 3-pin to molex adapters - graphics card have a variety of power socket for fans and never do they seem to use the standard 3-pin socket you find on a mobo. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

You can get larger heatsink coolers for graphics cards and some don't even require a fan, so you could use one of those with a large, slow, silent 120mm fan positioned over the card, however, you forgot to tell us what graphics card you have, so we can't recommend the right one for you! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
