i had to get the zalman because i have the 6600gt agp.

i would've gotten a silencer...just because it moves air OUT of the case, but the zalman works fine...

silencers are good if you can get one.

thats the main reason i picked the silencer. not only does it cool your graphics card but it adds another exhaust fan to your system decreasing overall temps.

i upgraded my card with the zalman and dropped from around 68C load to 48*C load (with AS5). I'd say it has perfect contact.

I just installed the zalman, vf700-alcu (w/as5) last week. The results were better than I expected, it took off 4-6c idle, and 12-14c loaded. Even after extended periods of gaming, I’ve yet gone over 52c. With stock cooling I used to be around 66c. It also looks very nice in your rig if you're windowed, here are some pics.1 2 3
