Zalman ZM17CU Video Cooler Review @ RabidHardware.net...

Skew · 04-January-03, 01:44 AM

"The third article in my line-up of Zalman product reviews is the Zalman ZM17-CU Aluminum-Copper VGA cooler. It is also in the CNPS range of products, which stands for Computer Noise Prevention System, Zalman's fancy name for products that produce a minimal amount of noise. This particular VGA cooler does NOT have a fan attached to it, and on the Zalman website it states "For GeForce 256 DDR, RADEON DDR, and higher classes of video cards, the ZM17-CU must be used with Zalman's FB165"."

I sometimes wonder why Zalman is still in business...their stuff might look like modern art but it performs like sh*t...even WITH a fan. Only recommended for the modder who goes for looks before performance. If you have a sweet TNT2, slap on this baby and show it off to all your friends!

I agree, this is kinda useless unless you got an original GeForce or whatever. And the 40-50mm stock HSF's are more than good enough and quite enough that I couldn't care less.
