Zalman VNF100 Fanless Heatpipe VGA Cooler

Zalman newest fanless VGA cooler, the VNF100 is an improvement on the ZM80D-HP, which has been around for many years. As well as an improvement in performance, installation is far easier.

The way the cooler works is very simple. Three heatpipes transfer the heat from the GPU to at back of the graphics card where blue anodized aluminium fins dissipate the heat naturally. The aluminium fins are only 0.4mm wide, this makes the cooler lighter, than some alternatives which in turn puts less stress on the graphics card.

Compatibility
The VNF100 is compatible with a vast array of graphics cards from nVidia and ATI. The following is a list of incompatible graphics cards:- nVidia - 6600 AGP, 7300 AGP, 7600 AGP, 7950GX2, 7900 GTO and GTX, 7800 GS and GTX and 8800 series.
