Review: Zerotherm GX810 graphics card cooler

You may not have heard of Zerotherm before, but parent company Apack has been around since 1999.

The GX810 is their latest graphics card cooler suitable for ATI’s X1300 to X1900 series of cards and Nvidia’s Geforce 7900, 7800, 7600, 6800 and 6600 (except the AGP version).

Check out the full list of supported cards on the Zerotherm site .

The design of the GX810 tips its hat at Zalman, looking remarkably similar to its popular Heatpipe cooler.

Built entirely of copper, the cooler uses a single 6mm heatpipe and polished base to take away heat from the GPU. A total of 140 thin cooling fins then dissipate the heat.

The 70mm dual ball bearing fan is temperature controlled and spins from 900 up to 2,500rpm, depending on how hot the GPU is running. Quoted noise levels start at 16.95dBA peaking at 29.85dBA when at full pelt.

As is almost obligatory these days, it’s lit by LEDs; in this case the colour of choice is red.

Simply packaged, Zerotherm's GX810 provides all you need in the way of fixings, including some thermal paste. You also get eight separate heatsinks to stick on the cards memory modules.
