How do they overclock their stock 8800GTS so high? 713/1100?!?! I can't get within 75 of that on the core and 100 on the memory and my stuff runs cool. (They said they can do this on the stock cooler.) How did they clock the card that high with stability?

PS Nice cooler too, thanks for the links.

I wish it was JUST a little bit larger, so it would cover your complete videocard. Thoughts ?

Yeah, but then it'd be like $20 more

If it looks hot, and you're into casemodding, it wouldn't be a real problem, because that thing does look pretty neat. Besides, it's a good investment, copper is getting more and more expensive as a resourcematerial. In a few years you can sell the raw copper for more then the cooler costed you :p

...

dont like zalman. :X


Bet you this is going to be expensive as hell.


Editors comments:
"Price wise, you can find the Zalman VF1000 LED for around $50, though the extra ZM-RHS88 heatsink required for GeForce 8800 video cards will cost you another $30, can you really justify spending that much money when the stock NVIDIA heatsink already is far from bad at all?"


yeah as i thought... expensive..

shit for 85 dollars, id invest a bit more and jump on water honestly.

MCW60 + G80 kit 43.90 + 5.99
Enzo Ramsinks 12.99
D-tek dB-1 Pump 44.95
MCR120 24.99
T-line 2.49
Tubing ~ 4 dollars.

And it would EAT this zalman til no tomorrow.


OMG since when is air getting almost as expensive as water? The prices on recient sinks are just too funny.

no... probably because this thing looks to be double the size of the vf900 LOL

Stock cooler works perfectly fine, and too me looks better tbh it covers the whole pcb; this doesn't.
