Have i mentioned that I love Oblivion...?  |
Zalman usually sucks wind by the way. I heard their current vid cooler is OK, but most of their old products suck. They started the trend, so I give them kudos for that, but they have lost favor among the people who disire little noise as possible. Read up on them at Silent PC Review and you won't like what you read as compared to other products.
Currently the best vid card coolers come from Thermalright but they are rather pricey. This was my alternative to the Accelero when I was building my recent system.
Check out the V1 Ultra -

As for the Acellero 2x from Arctic Cooling, it beats the Zalman pretty bad noise wise. Here is a review on the current Accelero -

Notice that they don't even bother to use Zalman products in their tests.
