Sytrin KuFormula VF1 Plus VGA Cooler... the new daddy. WIll OCUK stock?

Richdog · 3 Apr 2006 at 20:59

Apparently this cooler is the mutts nutts, destroys everything else including the Thermalright V1 http://www.ocia.net/reviews/sytrinvf1/page5.shtml and here http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=382&num=6

This means it will be better (and likely cheaper) than the new Zalman VF900 so I guess it's left to say... can OCUK get any of these in?

Can't see them in any UK stores whatsoever so could be OCUK's chance to get em in first (without price-gouging preferably

).

Look damn sweet...

Looks alright, saw it a while ago but the crossflow style fan looks a bit naff. Would probably work better with a standard 80mm fan

hmm that crossflow fan looks fairly big also, i agree with the above poster about it remove that cack and shove a standard quiet 80/92/120mm fan instead.

The crossflow fan looks very huge, I doubt you will be able to install the side panel :confused:

Loving the actual heatsink, not to keen on the fan. I would buy this as the current crop of coolers don't do anything for me

they arent supposed to turn you on

the VF700/VF900 series are darn good coolers, as is the artic cooling. cant see why this would be that much more better

That thing is huge! I have some experience of cross flow fans as i have two Vantec Vortex hdd coolers and they are fine on low speed but if you set them to high (i don't for obvious reasons) they scream like a bloody banshee. Don't know if that will be the case with this cooler.

Bigger surface area and a focused cooler = better heat dissapation

THG reviewed it and went nuts over it too..

The cross-flow fan does look big, but if it fit in their Dragon(esque) chassis it should fit in mine.. The hot air isn't being vented directly out the back of the case like a stock cooler or Arctic, but i have a pci-slot cooler lying around that would sort that out.

Would love an answer on this Gibbo, it's the best performing heatsink out there and I want it for my volcano-like X1900!

Any more news on this cooler - I'm definitely interested and would buy one.

Richdog · 22 Apr 2006 at 00:44

Dunno... Gibbo seems to be glossing over it.

OV3RCLOCK3R · 22 Apr 2006 at 01:27

Seems like a excellent cooler although the blower is on the large side

sunlitsix · 22 Apr 2006 at 01:49

exactly what i thaught

im not a fan of huge GPU coolers though

p4radox · 22 Apr 2006 at 10:34

Looks huge - I'll stick with a silent vf900 in my small case thanks

Unusual for Gibbo - usually we get a concise explanation as to why a product isn't selected for stock......
