Zalman ZM-VHS1 and ZM-NB32K

A couple of small but useful new coolers from Zalman, the Korean masters of all things cooling.

First up is the ZM-VHS1 – a small heatsink designed to cool the HSI (High Speed Interconnect) bridge chips in Nvidia’s Geforce 6600 series of graphics cards.

Unsurprisingly, Zalman recommends you use it with the company’s own VF700 VGA Cooler for maximum cooling.

The ZM-NB32K could be the answer if you have a noisy northbridge cooler – standard northbridge coolers are usually attached to the motherboard by pushpins.

Constructed from aluminium and just 32mm high, the ZM-NB32K is a passive cooler replacement designed for smaller cases. If you have room and want more cooling, the taller ZM-NB47J (£7) is available.
