X1800xt and zalman

[Disco_stoo]

Hi, I'm not entirely sure if this is the right forum for this, but I've just ordered the power3d x1800xt 256 meg card and have heard that it's quite a noisy beast.
I currently have an x800 with a Zalman ZM-80D-HP (and fan). Will the Zalman fit the x1800xt? I'm primarily interested in keeping noise down here as opposed to overclocking (although if its quiet and cool...).
Thanks (in advance) for your help.

I would'nt have thought so mate,is'nt that for older cards,the zalman VF700/900 will though Also they are near silent @ 5v

I would think that the Zalman VF-700 is going to struggle with the X1800XT so you might be better off getting the VF-900 when it comes out.

the zm 80's a monster of a heat sink, seems a shame to waste it. Surely with a bit of super glue and sticky tape...
