GPU Cooler

I've been looking at getting a GPU cooler its the only thing left in my system that pretty much has a stock part on it. Anyway, i've been looking at the Zalman VF700-Cu. Can anyone let me know if its a good way to go or if there is something better? for about the same price range? Thanks.
 
I use the same thing on the same card, works wonders even when you have the fan turned all the way down; it's silent and works better than anything I've ever seen. Don't hesitate, just get it!
 
Yeah the thermalright V-1 will certainly get you better temps, but there are a few dangers to take note of: first off, if your case uses an inverted motherboard setup (like the Lian li V1000), you can't use the V-1, since it messes up the function of the heatpipes. Second, (and this is purely speculation based on the given specs) it appears that the V-1 is louder than the zalman, at more than 30dBA. The zalman will cool you down plenty at 5v (they supply a very handy connector for undervolting fans) and is dead silent. Just some things to keep in mind, but either will serve you well.
