Thermalright V1

Interesting. Probably wont work properly in the cases the invert the mobo.

Im thinking hmm... panaflo l1a @ 6V anybody?

My only quam is lack of ram cooling.

I would think the zalman is only slightly better than stock coolers with emphasis on low noise.
 
looks pretty good i would have been intrested if it would have cooled the memory aswell, and you cant even fit RAM sinks on that as the HS is in the way 🙁, im looking for some new cooling solution but this seems not to be it .. and i dont know yet if i want to dable with water ..
 
Hmm, very interesting anatomy...I like how you can fit multiple fans on it. Apparently the temps are amazing, I don't know how Thermalright does it every time.

It's got a lot more heat dissapation than the NV5 and Zalman, which makes sense. They need to make that thing in 92mm instead of just 80. And I wonder if you can fit an 80x25 fan on it?
 
The Zalman wasn't compared so it's not clear which performs better. I would think the Thermalright would have the edge, but both easily out perform the AC Silencers.

I don't think inverted cases will be a problem, at least not a significant one, but I could be wrong.

The one issue I do see is the lack of direct cooling to the RAM; it may be an issue on high end cards or limit overclocking, here the Zalman has a clear edge.
 
Well you can see from the benches that load temps are no more than 60 degrees, I highly doubt the Zalman could do this (the NV5 definately couldn't).
 
You are absolutely correct!

Seeing how if you look at the documentation along with the pix`s you have the heatpipe on one side and the cooling fan on the other side.

It stands to reason that any video card aftermarket cooling device that cools or moves the heat from both sides will out perform another aftermarket cooling device that one cools on one side....

Looks fantastic though...

So many new things coming out on the market in the near future!🙂

In this Review the Zalman keeps an overclocked X800 XT within 60c load. The 6800GT and X800 have pretty similar power consumptions correct?

No, nVidias use a lot more power than ATI cards do. And nVidia's 6-series is the hottest running card for its time.

Not neccessarily - the x850xt uses more power than the 6800 ultra. I'm not sure about x800xt vs. 6800gt, but I would imagine that the x800xt uses more power.
 
with the fan blowing towards the card, there's no need for any heatsink on the memory. if mem chips are located on the top of the card, next to the gpu, well....

The fan blows on the back of the card, not the front where the 6800s have their RAM.

Well you also have to remember, the nVidia doesn't have a comparable video card to match the X850XT (excluding the new G70). So in reality we're comparing the 6800Ultra with the X800XT, and the 6800GT with the X800Pro or XL. nVidia cards use more power than their ATI counterparts.

But you're right, the X800XT uses more power than a 6800GT. According to this graph, the GT draws about 55w from the 12v, the XT draws about 63w from the 12v, and the Ultra draws 72+ (since it's on two different lines).

When the X850XT came out I was very surprised at its power usage, it jumped way ahead of the Ultra, which isn't like ATI. Oh well.
