Testing
For testing CPU coolers we take the temperature of the CPU when it is at idle and when it is at full load. We then overclock it and repeat the test to see how effective the cooler is at keeping temperatures down in overclocked conditions.
The graphics card I used to test this GPU cooler was probably the hottest card it could be fitted too, an x1900XT.
The other coolers I compared the VF-900 to were the Sytrin Kuforumla VF1 Plus, Jetart VC2600 and the Arctic cooling X2.
Results
It probably comes as no surprise that I was pretty disappointed by the Zalman temperatures there. Although at Idle the temperatures are pretty good, the load ones are horrendous; higher than all other coolers I have tested on this card.
