Zalman VF900 + Gainward 7900gt 512 GS

[SteveOBHave]

Right, just fitted the Zalman and...... it fits, but i had to remove the heatsink from the top set of memory chips as i didn't like the fact that when i tightened it all up the plastic clips that held the heatsink onto the board were being pressed out by the coppers fins of the Zalman. Bummer really as the heatsink itself fitted quite nicely under the cooler. Oh well, fitted the zalman sinks to the mem on the top row, down the side is fine and have left the origianl sink on.

And, thankfully, the annoying whine has gone! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! it was REALLY bugging me, like the noise when you leave a tv on and av channel but with no signal. But its gone now, so all is rosey!!

PICS?

I hope that issue doesnt happen with my one then. I am going with the 7800GS+ 512mb which is the AGP version of the 7900GT. I will be well ticked off if I get a whiny noise after paying top whack for probably the fastest AGP card I can ever hope of getting

You won't have to worry mate, those cards have *** arctic silencers on them which are super quiet. I've had a number of them and never had a problem with them. this was the stock hsf that came on the card with a puny little fan.
