silent coolers for x1900xt??

[DReborn]

i want the new Arctic Cooling Acclero X2 or the new Zalman VF900

any ideas when they are coming out? there are three reviews of the arctic already but they say end of february.

any other choices availabe?

I run a zalman VF700 and it works great. Temps are around the same or below the stock cooler, and it's a heck of a lot quieter. I couldn't wait for the VF900 or the Accelero X2.

the temps are no where close to the same for me on a VF700 infact they hit 90s with that thing on with the retail fan at full speed its never over 70 =D

 

[Rocco123]

90?! wow, that's pretty high. At full load (overclocked as well), I hit about 66 or so.

hmm...didn't know the vf-700 works on the 1900xt. oh well, i guess i'll put up with the loud stock fan for a few weeks. =\

Accelero X2 is crap. It exhausts onto the motherboard....

...on a VF700 infact they hit 90s...

Was it a loose contact issue? I'm pretty sure we went over this in one of the other 10,000 x1900xt threads, lol! But the Zalman vf700-cu slid around on my x1900xt. Didn't trust it, hehe.

What's up with that anyway? Is there a petition to bring back our exhausting friends?

I dunno =p I tried reseating it many times, it slid around as much as my 7000 slides around on my cpu :S and the heatsink itself was very hot as was the air coming off of it
