To keep your graphics sizzling hot, you’ve got to remember to keep your video card cool. If you’re a gamer, or you work extensively with motion and graphics, the Zalman VF900 – CU keeps graphics looking phenomenal and safeguards your video card from the searing heat produced during heavy use. This hi-tech cooling device lends a bold look to your PC with its gleaming heatsink, constructed out of 100-percent pure copper.
This performance-engineered cooler saves space with a compact 2-pipe heatsink and double ball-bearing fan system that whisk thermal energy away from your GPU and all its delicate components. A FAN MATE 2 controller and cable are included, affording you the option of switching between an 18.5 dB/1350 RPM ‘Silent’ mode and a 25dB/2400 RPM ‘Low Noise’ mode. You’ll be shocked at just how stealthily this Zalman cooler runs, even during full-throttle graphics or gaming marathons!
Compatible with a litany of both NVIDIA and ATI GPUs, the Zalman VGA Cooler will work flawlessly when installed on your compatible video card. For high-end gaming and graphics protection, the Zalman VGA Cooler is the way to go.

Pros: I have had tried 3 vga coolers over the past 6 months and this is the best so far. Just before this i had the zalman vf700 which was a solid performer, so i'll compare to that. With this cooler my idle temps are about 6 degrees cooler and under a load about 8 degrees cooler. AMAZING. It allowed me to further overclock my 7800gt to an astounding 550/1200 mhz (great for air cooling) max load temps with call of duty 2 are around 65c.
Cons: be careful not to bend your video card circuit board too much with this new mount, tighten the screws 1 turn at time in a criss cross pattern just until its snug. The new mount can really exert some force on the gpu.... this is a secret to its sucess...
Overall Review: The cooler has these advantages over the vf700 1. more fins for more surface area 2. more mass for more heat capacity 3. heat pips that really help suck the head out of the core and distribute it with max efficiency 4. an amazing mount system that really secures the heat sink to the gpu
