Is the Zalman ZM-80D-HP Silent VGA Dual-Heatpipe Cooler compatible with a pci-E 6600gt, 7800gtx or 7900gt gpu's, also is it compatible with a SLI setup? The reason I ask, is that ive got 2x6600gt's in SLI, one of which needs a new heatsink/fan, as the old one burnt out. Which I wouldnt mind keeping hold of for a while, however im wanting to upgrade to a 7800gtx/7900gt in the future sometime, and would like to use the HSF on that as well.

Thanks, I was hoping for someone who could deffinately confirm that it would fit. I hadn't actually considered the VF900, as I liked the idea of a passive cooler. How is the VF900 for noise. Also is the Zalman FS-V7 Fatal1ty Copper VGA Cooler any good, as im concerned with clearance between the 2 cards in SLI, as well as the clearance between the GPU and the Northbridge(I have an Nforce4 board with the Zalman ZM-NB47J Northbridge Cooler) This one is also made more attractive due to it being on offer this week.

Thanks. Do you recon any of these coolers will fit in an SLI setup?

Cheers mate, Ive ordered 2 VF900's. That should do the trick better than these dodgy default MSI coolers. Both have had the bearings go within 1 week. I bodge fixed one of them using an old cpu fan, but the other one im having to run passive by massively underclocking it and keeping a very close eye on the temperature.
