Was looking at the Zalman VF700-CU cooler as the Gigabyte 7800GT I have is fairly loud.
Problem is, it doesn't list any 7800 cards in either of it compatible or incompatible lists.
Does anyone know if it will work (and work well) or if there are any other quiet solutions out there for this card?
TIA :)
After a fair bit of forum trawling and reseatch, got myself a VF700 from QuietPC yesterday and attached it to my BFG 7800 GT OC.... took about 20 minutes to fit (making sure old heatgoop was all removed and everything cleaned up/dry) and has been running for nearly 24 hours soak now.
Makes next to no noise at all compared to the rather whiney stock cooler, to the point where the chipset fan on my A8N-SLi is the loudest thing in there now! Also bought the passive chipset cooler too, but am waiting until a replacement I/O plate turns up from the mobo supplier before I fit that, as it'll mean having to pull the best apart anyway to fit.
Definitely go for the VF700 though - it's perfect for the job.
