Once upon a time, Zalman was famous for their really silent coolers. Things have changed lately, because the competition caught up really quickly and now produces really silent coolers as well. As a result, Zalman has decided to strike a balance between noise level and performance.
Zalman's latest graphics card cooler - the Zalman VF900-Cu continues the trend by offering both low noise levels and respectable performance. We were not particularly impressed by the older VF700 series as they failed to set new heights in terms of raw performance. In terms of noise level, they didn't fare any better either. That could be due to the fact that it is their first active graphics card cooler.
Today, we are going to take a look at the Zalman VF900-Cu. As Zalman's latest graphics card cooler, we certainly expect it to improve on its predecessor. Will it be able to do so? Let's find out!
