Introduction
With graphics card's clocking faster and faster, aftermarket cooling is becoming more of a "need" than a "want," especially if you have any hopes of overclocking.
Today, I'm going to look at Zalman's VF900-Cu, a brand new heatsink on the market, featuring two heatpipes and an all-copper flower styled heatsink design.
Packaging
The packaging for the VF900-Cu is very nice, and high quality. None of that plastic stuff that tends to get very sharp as you try to rip it open. The front shows the cooler clearly, and tells you what card's the heatsink is incompatible with. On the rear, there is a cool see-through hole where it shows the base of the heatsink.
Above the see-through hole are the specs. Zalman clearly shows off the features, as well as showing pictures of certain features.

I'll try to post some 7900GT results in the review when my Dad's VF900-Cu arrives. He ordered one, and it should be here by Friday

Very nice review man, looks beastly One thing, you should include prices on the last page in $, Euro, GBP, AUD, w/e. Besides that though, niceQuote
One thing, you should include prices on the last page in $, Euro, GBP, AUD, w/e. Besides that though, niceQuoteNice review and very good product indeed. Zalman is obviously making quality products. I owned the Fatality version of the VF700 before I switched to W/C and it was doing an excellent job cooling my 7800GT.
I bet that the 900 would be my choice if I had to move back to air cooling at the moment.
One thing I would just like to add is that although Zalman has good products, their customer support is extremly poor not to say inexistant!!! I bought a lot of their products, including the VF700, Reserator 1 Plus, fans etc...
I have tried to contact their support center by emails several times, without any answers. Posted in their support forum without any answers too. Many users on their support forum have been reporting this absence of support has well... And not to mention that a couple of weeks ago the support forum went down and has now totally disappeared from their website!
Just thought it was worth mentioning

QuoteTop review mate, very easy reading. I'm impressed.
Only small gripe is that it might have been better to take some of those pictures on a white background, as a couple are quite dark.
Apart from that, A+++Quote
