I HAVE A ZALMAN VF1000 VGA COOLER FITTED ON A SAPPHIRE HD 3870, AND I AM THINKING OF UPGRADING TO ATI HD 4870.
ZALMAN DOESN'T LIST ANYTHING ON THEIR WEBSITE WITH REGARDS TO COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN VF1000 AND ATI 4870...
AFTER A LOTS OF WEB SEARCH I HAVE FINALLY CAME ACROSS "QUITEPC.COM", WHO I AM LEAD TO BELIEVE IS A SUPPLIER OF ZALMAN PRODUCT TO UK & EUROPE.
I RANG AND SPOKE TO TECH GUYS AND ACCORDING TO THEIR WEBSITE ZALMAN VF1000 IS COMPATIABLE TO ATI 4870. AND THIS IS WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY: "ONCE STOCK COOLER IS REMOVED AND REFITTED WITH A ZALMAN VF1000, YOU MUST ALSO INSTALL A Zalman ZM-RHS50-70 VGA FET Heatsinks"...AND THIS FET HEATSINK IS ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THEIR WEBSITE , ALONG WITH PICTURE SHOWING VF1000 FITTED TO A ATI 4870 AND FET HEATSINK.
QUITEPC web link:
I SUPPOSE ZALMAN HAS SOME CATCHING UP TO DO WITH VF1000 AND GV1000 EXTREME VGA COOLER COMPATIBILITY ISSUES WITH ATI 4870.
ANY SUGGESTION GUYS???
