Cheap, silent cooler

UKTopGun · 21 Jul 2006 at 15:44

Apparently the cooler on the X1800XT isnt very quiet so I was looking for a cheap, silent cooler? I don't need good cooling because I won't be overclocking I just want it to be silent.

zalman vf700 or vf900 not sure that they are that cheap but very good quiet cooling,

also look at any of the artic cooling products that will fit.

Thermaltake Blue Orb II and Golden Orb are both good coolers, both <£20

Every single thread about coolers you keep saying get the thermaltake blue orb without even reading the OP! There are far better coolers out anyway.

Basically its between:
Artic Cooling Accelero X2 Cooler (X1800/X1900 Series) (SY-002-AR) - £23.44
and
Zalman VF900-CU Quiet Copper VGA Cooler (SY-008-ZA) - £24.62

Im guessing I'll go for the VF900 as that seems to be the best cooler.

I guess if its so good maybe I could OC a bit, but that might mean upping the RPM which will make it louder and im just aiming for peace.

I've found a Zalman ZM-FS-V7 Fatal1ty Silent VGA Cooler for cheap.

Is this better than a Zalman VF900-CU Silent VGA Chipset Cooler?

monkeypants · 23 Jul 2006 at 12:16

No. The VF900 is better.

VF900 is brilliant vga cooler

Ive got one on my X1800XT
