Fatal1ty FC-ZV9 Dual Heatpipe VGA Cooler

The Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZV9 cooler is certainly a force to be reckoned with. World-famous for producing some of the quietest CPU coolers available, Zalman have taken a new approach with the FC-ZV9 and used the innovative efficient heatsink design of the VF900 to produce maximum cooling instead of minimum noise. This modification has produced a high-performance VGA cooler which is being marketed under the Fatal1ty brand name, aimed at the gaming market.

This cooler is very similar to the VF900-CU, but it uses a high-speed fan to get the best possible performance. This provides a greater amount of airflow over the GPU and surrounding components, and will ensure the minimum possible GPU temperature.

Product differences

The specifications of the Fatal1ty FC-ZV9 cooler are identical to the Zalman VF900-CU, except that the cooler comes with a higher speed fan. Also the FC-ZV9 has a special ceramic coating which maximises heat transfer and minimises oxidation. Not only that, but it looks cool too!

Compatibility Issues

The FC-ZV9 is compatible with AGP and PCI-E graphics cards which have pushpin holes around the GPU. Unfortunately it is not compatible with Matrox or nVidia’s PCX series graphics cards. If you own a Matrox card please consider using the ZM80D-HP. It is also incompatible with nVidia’s 7800 GS AGP cards, the 7800 and 7900 series PCI-E remains fully compatible, as does ATI’s X1800 and X1900 series.
