Zalman is one of those companies that to the enthusiast needs no introduction. They have a solid reputation for quality, low-noise solutions that sacrifice little performance in what's become an increasingly competitive market. Our last Zalman product was a CPU cooler with that familiar flower-like heatsink the company is known for. The previous GPU cooler from Zalman we looked at, the Zalman ZM80D-HP, had a design very different from what Zalman tends to produce for CPU coolers but did perform extremely well.

Today we look at the Zalman VF700-AlCu, a GPU cooler that brings a design similar to Zalman's CPU coolers to the GPU. With the VF700 Zalman markets two versions: the AlCu shown here and the Cu, pure copper variant. With a new 6600 in the labs, I was anxious to put the 3rd party cooling to good use and see what this core could do - my results were excellent.
