Recently, the thermalright v1 gpu cooler came out. I just thought I would like to let everyone know, because so many people post the question vf700 or nv silencer. Well now there won't be a question.
I have an XFX 6800GT @ 410/1110. I got the vf 700 zalman cooler because my temps were 62C idle, 79C full load (HL2,) and 94C Extreme Load (full screen rthdribl-x4 multisample)
Well with the zalman vf 700, I expected great results. I got good results, but they weren't great.
56C idle, 74C full load (HL2) and 86C extreme load (full screen rthdribl-x4 multisample)
So I heard about the V1, and I went for it. Instead of the stock 24cfm 34 db fan, I got a delta slim fan (80x15mm) @34cfm/39 db. I plugged it into the pwr slot on my mobo. Also I used the original fan as an optional second fan. I was amazed.
45C idle, 66C full load, and only 70C extreme load!
Here is an additional review:

However my results weren't as good as watercooling with 2 fans, they were still excelent. So next time don't debate over the vf700 or nv silencer. Go with thermalright V1. You won't be dissapointed.
