Zalman VF900-CU LED VGA Cooler at ZipZoomfly

One of the best air coolers for graphic cards.

is this the same as u linked to, is there a difference, ?

Newegg.com - ZALMAN VF900 – CU 2 Ball VGA Cooler - Retail

The only difference is that the one from zipzoomfly, has a blue LED fan. But I would go for the non-LED, since it's cheaper, and performs, just the same.

wow, i have the same card, and i hate the fan. im just gonna buy a new card though. does yours make a high pitched noise when it runs?

It would be more beneficial to yourself to just buy a new and quieter card. However the Zalman VF900 is a sick cooler as well.

 

[siddanth3]

well, i use it for my second computer, i barely use, but i am giving the card to my brother, so i want to by the HSF for him. how would it be beneficial to buy a new card? and if it is, which one?

If you are giving the card to your brother and your only interest is to make it quieter then i guess go for the zalman...it's just that they are quite expensive coolers for a not so expensive card these days.
