Zalman VF700-Cu in a shuttle?

[Jiff Lemon]

Anyone tried it?

Suspect it'll be too tall, but I need something to quieten down this 6600GT

Depends what shuttle you have. If you have a free PCI slot between the case and your AGP/PCI-e slot then you may be able to but if not then you'll need a case cut

Jiff, simple answer NO

Unless you have the new style P series shuttles there is not enuff room.

I tried it with an ATI X850 XT in a SB95P. There is just place enough, though the Cu cooler is a little compressed on the CDROM/FDD mounting bracket.
But i'm snot so satisfied with that cooler because you have to choose between 2 fan speeds (quiet or normal), "quiet" speed doesnt cool enough while playing games and "normal" is too noisy.
I think I'll try the Artic Cooling ATI Silent 5 (exists also for NVidia)

Just plug the cooler into your motherboard and use speedfan to keep temps down and noise to a minimum...
