Zalman shows off new graphic card cooler

Darksaber · Jan 27, 2006

Zalman showed off the new graphic card cooler, called the VF-900 at the CES in Las Vegas. The cooler has a much higher number of fins, and should be compatible with most Crossfire and SLI mainboards. The fan should be about 8 cm large, turning at 1350-2650 rpm. The cooler has a size of 96 x 96 x 30 mm, weighs 187 grams and actually uses heatpipes.

yeah this thingk looks nice but i dont think its compatable with older cards. i hate it when ur too poor to even upgrade ur system...

But on one of the photos it looks like a dualslot cooler as big as the normal VF coolers

Well the VF700 is also 30 mm thick, that's why I asked. And so is the 2 year old ZM80-D on that side of the card. So I have no idea what they're talking about.

sorry bout that, that was more an observational note in the news on my part. It seems that the cooler is just as high as the previous ones. Fixed the news post. Sorry about that guys, but I usually post news late at night (its 2:30 am right now) *G*

cheers
