[Review] Zalman VNF100 i Gigabyte V-power

Stevie_Ray · Aug 1, 2007

Our today’s test session demonstrated that both new cooling solutions turned out pretty successful, each in its own way. Zalman VNF100 will cope perfectly with overclocked mainstream and budget graphics cards. As you could see, this cooler installed on an overclocked GeForce 7900 GS proved as efficient as the reference cooling system of this graphics card, only Zalman newcomer was completely noiseless.

Gigabyte V-Power is a much more efficient cooler although it is indeed positioned as a solution for the top price segment. I wish we could check out this cooler on Radeon HD 2600 XT: hopefully the manufacturer will take into account this frustrating issue and make sure that this cooler can be installed on the graphics cards that really need it.

Of course, we cannot disregard the price of the new cooling solutions. At this time we can only base our conclusions on the manufacturer’s recommended price, which will hardly make them competitive in the market. As we see, the same Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 even with an additional 120-mm fan will cost less than Gigabyte V-Power and their efficiency is simply incomparable.
