NV Silencer5 vs Zalman VF700-Cu which is better ?

**twajetmech** · 10-10-2005, 06:31 PM

Okay, quick question, which of these two coolers will work best with my 6800GT, the NV Silencer5 or Zalman VF700-Cu. The stock cooler is both loud and does a really poor job, imho...idle temps are 60C GPU 54C Mem, I already have a VF700-Cu on my FX5200 which I can reuse, or would the NV5 be a better choice ?

you can read reviews about this and the zalman is the best air cooler you can buy, imo i preffer the zalman as well.

EDIT: no offense but why do you have a zalman on an FX 5200 :| :| :| ??? the cooler costs as much as that crappy card... not to mention you wouldnt get much out of one anyways, they suck.

Thank you for the reply...when I got the 5200 it was stil $100 ! and the zalman was all I had lying around at the time. I've read much of the reviews, but I wanted a few personal experiences with both coolers I too like zalman coolers, but the fact that the NV5 blows the hot air out of the case intrigued me
