Which should I go for vid card cooling?

Shootingblanks · Feb 14, 2004

i will be looking at getting an ati 9800 pro and would like to go with a Iceberg4, vga silencer or Zalman 80c. i am leaning towards the zalman 80c.

what would perform better?

Artic cooler VGA Silencer, I think it performs better:

i have the iceburq4 gets me to 450mhz stable on core.
it also looks sexy

but the VGA Silencer should perform better.

I have the iceberq 4 too and I think its great, but the vga silence has the performance to make up for its ugliness

The silencer and the zalman are both good choices but I went with the zalman because it doesn't make noise but still offers the option of adding a fan if you need that extra bit of cooling.

I havented tested my zalman yet tfor supreme overclocking. but it manages 430 core and i wasnt even cooling the right heatsink. i was cooling the backside, trying to make use of the heatpipe. if i put a panaflo or somthing on my primary side, i wouldnt be suprised if i got 450 core out of it.
if you want your system supremely quiet, zalman, super overclocked, vga silencer.

i thought the vga silencer was pretty quiet also...

do you guys expect today's graphics card Heatsinks to fit next-gen vid cards? I'm worried that it'll just be something i'd have to buy all over (plus my 9700 has infineon RAM, which can't overclock worth poop)

Get the VGA Silencer for $13.99 at Xoxide, it spanks the Zalman(w/or w/out the optional fan) and it spanks the Iceberg. :temper:
