Sentiment Overview
MOST IMPORTANT SENTIMENTS
TOP POSITIVE
"Helped to stabilize my system in games as well as speed them up a bit."
"Dropped temps over 10 * C AND helps to cool off my passively cooled southbridge which just so happens to be the component that runs AGP on the Asrock 939Dual-SATA2."
TOP NEGATIVE
"It's heavy, but that's pure copper for ya."
"Wait overnight and press hard again in the morning before putting the card in the slot."
"easy installation"
1. Super easy installation on my XFX6600GT.2.
[ -all copper-included ramsinks-is silent at full rpm compared to the other 6 fans in my case-easy installation] -lengthy installation.-makes the card awkward to hold after the installation, because you do not want to bend the fins, but this thing is so big that it covers most of the card

"quiet fan"
Easy Install, quiet fan even on high, terrific air flow(at least compared to the stock one ).
Excellent for cooling, pretty quiet fan.
"quiet mode"
[ It was an inexpensive fix to a 69C idle problem w- my agp 7600gt.] I have it on normal setting, not the quiet mode and I still can not hear it, no #* & $!
[ Now, after installing the zalman, I can not hear anything!](I'm on the quiet mode)and let me tell you, it's a godsend.
"clear instructions"
Crystal clear instructions.
Easy to install, clear instructions and much improved cooling for my PCIex 7800GT.
"loud stock fan"
Replaced a loud stock fan on my new Asus card.
This totally blows away the loud stock fan that came with the graphics card.
"idle temperature"
Perfectly silent and my idle temperature went down to 46C!
The idle temperature for my geforce 7600 gs dropped by 20 degrees F' while idle, and has dropped 60-80' F while gaming.
"cheap fan"
[ I have two GeForces(a 7600 and an 8500)that are perfectly serviceable but each one has a dirt cheap fan and each one whines like a bag full of cats.] Installation instructions are very clear, and assembly takes all of 15 minutes.

"idle temps drop"
my gpu idle temps dropped my 56-60 * c to 33-39 * c.
With the Zalman on low speed(and nearly silent operation ), idle temps dropped from 60C to 40C.
"compatible cards"
Fit perfectly on my EVGA 7600 GT card even though it's not listed in its list of compatible cards
"effective ram"
Using it on an XFX 7800GTX (PVT70FUND7, 490MHz core, 1300MHz effective RAM clock) to help lower the temps when gaming
"loud fan going"
I am very happy to be able to use my mainstream PC once again without having to worry about a loud fan going at full load all the time
"effective cooling"
[ ATI Radeon 9800 Fan Replacement] Quiet even on" normal" mode, much more effective cooling than the stock fan, price, quality of construction, clear installation instructions

"passive cooling"
Excellent cooler, attractive, solid, great fan, dropped my temps on a passive cooling 7300GT from 65 idle 78 load to 40 idle 45 load!
"noisy heatsink"
My old, noisy heatsink/fan touched all of the RAM chips on the board in addition to the GPU
"passive heat sink"
Dropped temp 10 degrees Celsius from stock passive heat sink on a Sparkle 9500GT.
"quiet gpu"
I have one of these on my 9600XT (tiny fans have died several times now - but not since I added this) as well as one recently added to my 7800GT (this came with a high RPM really whiney fan) and despite the size of this unit and the weight I will be using this as my cooler of choice for quiet GPU applications
"idle temp drop"
everything! I threw this bad boy on a bfg 7800gt oc with some good thermal pasted and my idle temp dropped to 32c from 36c. this cooler is like 1000 times quieter than the copper brick like cooler that came on my card over clocked it a bit too
"dead fan"
I purchased this heatsink to replace the stock cooling on my X8500 AIW which had a dead fan.
"slow speed"
+ It cools the OEM video processor(ATI x300)RV370 + Better than the passive waffle iron that it replaced(and I mean a really HOT waffle iron)= thanks dell + slow speed is all that it needs
[ + It cools the OEM video processor(ATI x300)RV370 + Better than the passive waffle iron that it replaced(and I mean a really HOT waffle iron)= thanks dell + slow speed is all that it needs] -almost did not fit = there were two capacitors that were nearly interfering, had to adjust six to seven fins out of the way, but did not damage anything.

"compatible zalman"
does not fit on my new 7900gt so I have to flush more money down the money potty to get a compatible zalman.
"cheaper product"
product line does not offer a cheaper product(the alcu cost more no newegg ).-Heavy
"bulky arctic cooling"
I replaced my bulky ARCTIC COOLING ATI Silencer 5 on my X800 XTPE with this Zalman VF700-CU.
"quiet fit"
The memory heatsinks do not quiet fit since hte agp version of the 6600gt has memory close to the core.
"grinding sound"
After 2 years, the original fan started to make a grinding sound and became just too loud!
"cheap thermal grease"
Cheap Thermal Grease that comes with the fan BUY Arctic Silver 5 or expect temperatures to be higher.
"noisy stock fan"
I replaced the noisy stock fan on my evga 7800gt, which I thought was quiet until I upgraded my computer case, Antec P180.
"safe mode"
I was having weird hard crashing issues in some games for no visibly apparent reason, my monitor would just go into" safe mode" and become completely unresponsive to even the reset button, I'd have to hold the power button down to reboot it.
