    GPU cooler that works with SLI!?

    Exacly how the title says it I need a new GPU fan cooler to cool my video card
    because it sometime dunno y it goes that high but touches 55C, 57C...and i really dont like that so i wanna get something that will cool my baby down...I was strongly thinking of getthing the -ARCTIC COOLING SILENCER 5 (REV.3) BUT its does not work with SLI and i am planning to get another 7800gt in a couples of months...there is also the VF700-CU or the VF700-Alcu (dunno the diffence betweem both of them and dunno if it works in SLI..) and my last one is the one that is still not out and not sure that it works in sli again or not and i still dont know when its coming outthe....ZALMANVF900....
    http://www.frostytech.com/permalink.cfm?NewsID=47784 need help here...


    (And i am planning to get the ZALMAN CNPS9500 for my CPU if anybody has something bad to say about it but i only heard good stuff ...ama gonna send my Amd 3200+ on the moon :p)

          The difference between the VF-700ALCU and the CU is that the CU model is ALL copper, while ALCU is mostly aluminum, with a bit of copper. All copper is better, the VF-700CU is regarded as the best VGA cooler (yes, above the Arctic Silencer). Also, Yes, the Zalman 9500 is a good HSF, but it's on the expensive side (61 bucks at newegg.com). If i were u, i would go for the Thermaltake BIg Typhoon, it's cheaper, and it comes with a fan unlike it's counterparts (SI-120, Scythe Ninja). Links:

              The money option for the Zalman 9500 doesn't matter ... for me the thing that i love most about it is the way the fan is design ...its going to push all the hot air into my 120 Fan and the hot air is going to be pushed out of the case. And its amazing cooling ability...( my friend has it and has a AMD 3200+ and is at 40C with 2703ghz! )

              But does the ZALMAN VF700-CU work in SLI...?
              And should i wait t'ill the newer version of it comes out the ZALMAN VF900..??

                  I don't think any new zalman Vga cooler will come out soon, and ya, as much as i know, it works with SLI. If money isn't much of a matter, u could always go for DD custom WC (it costs around 200 bucks, but u get water blocks for CPU and GPU), which is better than any aircooler i know of. Anyways, the prob with the Zalman is that u can't replace the fan, with the TT Big T, u can get a better fan, and same with the Ninja or the SI-120, and getting a good fan won't make the cost any better. Anyways, the way that the 9500 has the fan mounted vertically isn't all that great, cause if u have good airflow (like me, when i say good airflow i mean 1 fan in the front bottom of case, one fan in the side of case blowing RIGHT into the CPU HSF, and a 120mm in the back of the case) then u the config of the 9500 won't matter much. Also here: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo...cool-comp.html
                  As u can see, they say that the Big T is the best, but if u crank the fan in the 9500 up to 2500RPM it's about the same, but then it's louder than teh BIg T, and with the BIg T, u could get an even better fan and it would get better performance.

                      ..Ok as for the THERMALTAKE BIG TYPHOO.....all i can say is holly molly!...i just read 3 reviews and they all said the best aircooling on the market...sweet!!

                      And for the idea of getthing Watercooling i've had the idea of doing it and then i droped it after reading all the stuff you have to install and all that complex stuff....and the idea of having water right next to all my stuff dosen't make me feel very comfortable...it kind of reminds me of doing something like this to your to my pc....


                      lol am jk...

                      But all the Zalman VGA cooler look so small and crappy looking they really dont look like they can outperform the arctic cooler....but i think am gonna get the new one Zalman VF900 that's coming http://www.frostytech.com/permalink.cfm?NewsID=47784

                          Nice pic and link, ya, WC also worried me at first, but then i went to a OC forum, they use non-conducting fluids. Anyways, kool, teh VF-900 IS coming, nice link, that's awesome, it's gonna be better than teh VF-700CU, AND it only takes one slot on ur mobo/case. I gotta look out for that at newegg.com, plus, that thing looks sweet, with 2 heatpipes. My advice, as far as i know, get the Big T (make sure ur case is wide enough, the thing is HUGELY tall), also if u don't wanna wait for the VF-900 ( i reccomend that u do wait though), get teh VF-700CU.

                              I would go WC, but I understand. I wanted the Artic as well, but I didnt know if it worked with SLi, damn. I ordered the arctic silencer 64 ultra for my CPU, I wanted to get the LED version with temp control, but didnt. And I think im gonna keep my stock video coolers, seeing as how I top out at 70C. My case cant hadle WC, so when I get a new case Ill consider it. I want the nemisis case ^_^

                                  Most reviews I've seen show the Scythe Ninja being slightly better:
