VGA Cooler Roundup on ATI X1900 Series
 

We test 4 after market VGA coolers from Thermalright, Zalman, Sytrin and Arctic Cooling on a hot running Powercolor ATI X1900 GT. Which one keeps the card the coolest and how quiet can it be done? Find out in this group test.

review Sytrin KuFormula VF1 GPU WITHOUT FAN
 

Due to space constraints (no free PCI slots in my system), I was interested if you could re-test the VF1 WITHOUT the included fan with a 120mm fan mounted on the rear of the case (i have a Arctic-Cooling ACF12).

My system setup is similar to the Piotke's Test Setup picture on Page 1 of your review except my Zalman blow air directly to the back of the case.

TIA :ws:

these products and test card are no longer available as we have to make room for new product reviews & gear; sorry :/

I still think TR cripples their cooler by supplying a crappy fan. It is just asking to ghetto mount a 1000 RPM 120mm Silent Eagle.

TR doesn't supply fans with their HSF;)

"The included 80mm fan is low profile (15mm) and spins at 2500rpm@12v."

?

for retail channel they sometimes do, but if you check their product line-up you'll see that practically none come with fan. I think the low profile is not a bad choice as it limits the risk of it not fitting inside your case.
