Zalman VF3000A Video Card Cooler ReviewZalman is one of the oldest names in PC cooling products, and they've had some star performers over the years. They have always had a line of graphics card cooling products that compliment their CPU coolers. The GPU cooler market is more stable, and much less diverse that the CPU marketplace, for a number of reasons. Zalman has been a strong and steady presence as the power density of graphics processors has been steadily rising. There is a lot of competition on the OEM front for GPU cooler design, as manufacturers try to differentiate their products in the video card marketplace. It's one of the key design elements that we look for at Benchmark Reviews when we review a graphics card. Into this power struggle, Zalman has just launched a whole new product line of aftermarket coolers that will work with a wide variety of VGA products. Today, we're going to look at the VF3000A model, which is specifically designed to mate with the reference design for the ATI Radeon HD 58xx series of graphics cards.

The second "F" in VF3000F stands for Fermi. I can't find it in distribution in North America, but it is for sale in Asia right now.
I don't see the need for it on the GTX 460, personally. If you want the best OEM cooling for that chip, buy the MSI Hawk.
Oh wait, I think there are thousands like me. LOL

Not saying it can't be done, but it's not a job for the inexperienced. OTOH, you know there's only one way to get experience... [%^D
