Cooling for 7 series cards

[Vinny]

I can't seem to find a good cooler for any of the 7 series cards I'm looking at. I'm really not a fan of the dinky coolers found on the 7600 cards or the lower 7900 cards (two of the cards I'm considering).

I won't overclock it or anything but I don't want my card to get too hot (I'm trying to build a very cool system). I was thinking about the ZALMAN Fatal1ty FS-V7 but it doesn't list the any of the 7 series cards as being compatible though one reviewer said it fit it on a 7800GTX. So, does that mean it'll fit on the 7600 or 7900? :?

Look into the Aritc Cooling Accelero X1. It fits the 6800, 7800, and some 7900 series cards. Heard good reviewes on it for cooling and its real quiet also. Better than stock.

zalman vf900 is a very good cooler,it will install on almost any card,including the 7 series 7900 7600 etc

Yes, it is. The VF700 is cheaper, but not as good.

BTW, you're a dirty, sex obsessed monkey.

Thanks guys, those look pretty good. It seems that the one I wanted will work with nearly any 7 series GPU according to Zalman's site but from the reviews I read, you pay more for looks than for performance. Too bad, they would've looked great in my system.:-(

VF700 does not fit 7 series, I found out the hardway, now my old 6800gt has the VF700 and my 7900gt has the VF900.
