Installing Zalman VF1000 heatsink on Geforce 9800 GTX+, question on how ram layout

bobbyd3 · 11-26-2008, 02:15 AM

So I planned on installing a zalman vf1000 heatsink on the geforce 9800 gtx+ card I bought for new PC.

I got the zalman today and looked at the box and said may need a seperate ram heatsink with certain geforce cards, the ZM-rhs88.

So I search online after looking at the zalman sites install guides for both the vf1000 and the rhs88 ram heatsink/with vf1000. That it depends on how the ram is layed out on the actual card if I need one or both heatsinks.

So the 9800 GTX+ has a cover on it in all the pics I can find so I cant determine the ram layout. For whatever reason I wont get my hands on mine until next week.

If anyone has looked at their 9800 gtx+ could you please let me know if the layout resembles either of the following, in link click the how to install to see what ram layout is for each item.

I think I may have answered my own question, after searching around for a while I came across some site that had the cover/fan off a gtx+ and I can see the configuration of the ram.

Turns out I dont need the extra ram sink, (more importantly I don't need to shell out another $30)
