Review: Zalman VF-900-CU VGA cooler

Zalman’s latest VGA cooler has been designed to replace the stock coolers on ATI’s Radeon X1900 and Nvidia’s Geforce 7900 series.

Beautifully crafted from copper, the VF-900-CU uses two heatpipes attached to the base plate that go around the circumference of the cooler fins to dissipate the heat away from the GPU.

The cooler is compatible with all cards that have push pins around the GPU, but just to be sure it's best to check the compatibility list on Zalman’s website.

Sitting on top of the cooler is a 92mm Zalman fan that, by using a FanMate2 controller, can be adjusted from a quiet (18.5dB) 1,350rpm up to 2,400rpm for ultimate cooling (25dB).

If you must have one that lights up then there is a blue LED lit version, the VF-900-CU LED (£29.99).
