What brand of card do you have?

Ace Modder · 22 Apr 2010 at 22:12

I will try to get some benchies up tomorrow.

Ace Modder · 23 Apr 2010 at 11:39

Benchmarks are coming in the next 15mins. Looking very, very good at the moment.

Ace Modder · 23 Apr 2010 at 12:23

Right I have completed some benchmarks using a Club 3D 5870 GFXs card. This has the standard reference board and cooler from AMD/ATI so this is one of the best cards to test with.

I have run Furmark in windowed mode at 1280 x 1024 with the card running at stock speeds.

Stock cooler - 69 degrees
Zalman cooler - High fan speed - 42 degrees
Zalman cooler - Medium fan speed - 38 degrees
Zalman cooler - Lowest fan speed - 38 degrees

Results with Stock cooler

Results with Zalman cooler - Full fan speed

Results with Zalman cooler - Half Fan Speed

Results with Zalman cooler - Lowest Fan Speed

As you can see the Zalman cooler performance is much better. The fan on the highest setting is audiable at around the same noise level as the stock cooler at the default fan speed.

On medium the noise is just about hearable, but at low speed the noise is none existant.

The results show only minor differences between the fan speeds on the Zalman with the slowest speed still massively outperforming the stock cooler for cooling.

Here are the temps for the whole card

with the Zalman fan on medium.

There was some of the Zalman paste included, but I opted for Arctic Silver 5 - not because it was better, cos I don't actually know if it is of not on GPU's. But because the paste from Zalman was in a heinz ketchup type packet and Arctic Silver which I had to hand comes in the better push-tubes.

Ace Modder · 23 Apr 2010 at 16:19

They all come with the heatsink.

Ace Modder · 12 May 2010 at 16:06

I'm awaiting confirmation at the moment.

Ace Modder · 13 May 2010 at 15:00

The delivery looks to be delayed, we are awaiting information from Zalman, which I should be getting tomorrrow morning.

Ace Modder · 14 May 2010 at 10:22

Right. Bad news I'm afraid. The shipment to the UK has been delayed till the end of the month now. Partially due to the backlog of air freight deliveries due to the air closures over the last few weeks.

Ace Modder · 14 May 2010 at 12:18

This shows you the VRM temps - VDDC Phases are the VRM's

Ace Modder · 27 May 2010 at 08:37
