About the Zalman heatpipe videocard solution?

Hi guys, I’m looking to silence my videocard.

I heard about that Zalman heatpipe heatsink, and I’m really interest in it, but I don’t remember witch was the model that support a GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB. Could you link me? A Canadian store link would be very appreciated.

And I was wondering if that heatsink could be use on my MSI GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB (444MHz) in my quasi-fanless case? The only fan remaining in my case are the PSU’s and the videocard’s, so with the Zalman heatsink, the only fan will be the one in the PSU, could it work?

Thanks in advance.

www.ntcw.com in Vancouver has them.
They ship across Canada.

I use one on my 128MB GF4Ti4200 and it works just as advertised, however, my case isn't fanless.
I have a Zalman 6000cu w/ Fan bracket to cool my CPU; the fan/bracket blows a small amount of air over the video card.

What kind of CPU are you running fanless?

Yea that msi card is probably the best ti4200 around, value wise. I would get one just to get morrowind for free.

Hey, thanks for the Canadian link.

I got a passively water-cooled XP 2100+.

I got a KT266A with a Zalman northbridge heatsink on it.

Other then that, I have a 7200RPM Maxtor HD.

Could it work?

But at 45 CAD, I’m nearly better off buying a GPU waterblock…

If you are already water cooled I would just buy another block.

I have the Zalman on a lowed end MX440 card. I does worked. It dropped the temps about 20 C (from 50 C to 30 C).

Witch block would you suggest and where could I buy it in Canada (online)?
