Anyone got experience with Zalman VF700?

I need a better cooler for my 6600gt(Leadtek agp) and I'm currently looking at Zalman VF700. I can't fit a Stasis cooler +fan in my rig, cuz AFAIK it occupies 2 pci slots...

Have anyone tested it? What was your result? Do you have any other recomandations? I can only afford to loose one pci slot...

the zalman vf700 is a real good cooler, and it takes up one pci slot. i just looked at my icestorm, and it looks fine. you should be able to fit another pci card in. i dont have any pci cards in, but it leaves my 2nd slot in.

i have a vf700cu and i'll tell u it cools like no tomorrow....but i wouldn't recommend putting a pci card under it....it would fit but my temps went up alittle. run around 36c/53c@ 595/1.31 and no arty's

Well, mine craps out at around 565 due to high temps.... 80degr. after only one run of 3dmark(01).
In other words I might be able to push the card some more(with some luck).

How big difference is there between the copper and the copper/alu. combo? 1-3 degr? 5-10????

i think around 1-3 after a half-hour, and then maybe like 4-5 after a good day or two of video load

I think I'll order the Cu version to be sure...Done!.. ETA, wednesday next week...

have fun ocing that 6600gt. they clock like beasts, or mine does atleast.

Well, with stock cooling I reached 565/1150. Benched it and playe HL2 while using it, but it's the current max... I hope to reach 580 with better cooling. Braking 600 would be cool, but my psu would probably choke it.
