Hi, from the owners of this product, how well did this cooler cool your VGA Card. Please tell me your name of your video card and what is your idle and load temperatures after installing this zalman vf700-cu cooler? thank you. :)

I've been using one on an eVGA 6800gt (PCIe, stock speeds) for about a year. Idle it keeps it around 52C, the highest I've seen it hit while gaming is 64C. This is running the fan on "silent mode", running the fan on normal mode isn't terribly loud, but temps are good enough for me running the way it is.
 
I've got the cooler mounted on a BFG 6800GT OC. B4 install idle temps ran 69C with a high of 79C. After install, idle went to 62C with highs of 70C. Overall I'd say it was a worthy purchase and it runs very quiet.

Mine sits proudly on my Gigabyte 7800 GTX and idles at 37-40

I'm using artic silver ceramique thermal compound instead of their grease.

Quiet and cool.
