Tt Extreme Giant 3 or Zalman ZM80C

[latexdreams]

Okay which is the better setup for OCing the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128:

Zalman ZM80C-HP - $30
ZM-OP1 (slim fan) - $10
Tt copper RAMsinks (8) - $8
Total: $48

Thermaltake Extreme Giant III - $40
- kit includes 2 fans, 8 RAMsinks, Speed Switch
Total: $40


I know there are other solutions but i will be choosing from the above 2 setups as i have immediate access to one or the other.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The Zalman is a far better cooler. However, if you can, definately try to get a VGA Silencer.

I'd go with the Zalman, but the VGA Silencer as Mr. Radar mentioned will outperform the Zalman

Is the VGA Silencer a better overclocker than the HSF's above?
Will i be able to add RAMsinks under the VGA Silencer as well?

Looks like the Silencer won't have any problems with RAMsinks to me, because it doesn't even cover the whole card. The VGA Silencer is a better overclocker because it is active cooling, not passive like the Zalman's heatpipe.

he will also be using the fan as he listed above.

Yes, you can easily fit the ramsinks on the card with the silencer installed. I bought the svc deal with the ramsinks...worked like a champ!

Another vote for the VGA silencer here. The active cooling is very quiet (thus the name I suppose) and it works very well at a great price. I love mine, and see no reason why you wouldn't love one on your 9800pro. I use OCZ copper ramsinks with my VGA silencer.

Best of luck.
