Photos of VF700-Cu installed on a 6600GT AGP

i couldn't stand the noisy fan any longer so installed a VF700-Cu on my
Albatron 6600GT AGP. Photos he

http://www.avidphotography.com/misc/Zalman%20VF700-Cu/

ran 3dmark03 and everything seems stable (except got a 5351 score with my
XP2400+ :/ (but it was this slow with stock HSF))

Nice ones.
Did the same with my XFX 6600GT. But I can´t decide if I should go for the
12V or the 5V connector. It looks like I get same temp. with either of them.
What are you using?
I also have the comp. in my bedroom.

hey,

i had it on the 12v for the extra cooling, but i've just put it onto 5v to see
how it goes, and its fine so far. i do notice a bit less noise, but its not
really that great so i could put it back to 12v, but too lazy to open up the
case again

i've read one review on the vf700-Cu and it had temp readings that said the
vf700-Cu on 5v performed better then the stock cooler. so i might just leave
it on 5v.

i love the cooler so much i might replace my vantec CPU HSF with a zalman

Yeah, it´s a great cooler... But I must admit that I am a bit spoiled after
having used a VGA Silencer on my 9800Pro.

I´ll keep mine at 12V, and wait to see how it goes for you... =)

You could wire it in between the 12 and 5 volt rails for 7 volts.

Just got a note back from Arctic that they will not make a VGA Silencer for
the 6600GT AGP. One for the pci-e model is showing on their site - the
nvidia 6.
