One company that always manages to improve upon its products is Zalman. While some may claim that if a company makes good products, there is not need to improve them. While that may be true in some industries, in the world of computing - and more...
Excellent performance ; Red LED theme ; Includes 8 red aluminum ramsinks ; Quiet at low to mid-low fan speed
FanMate 2 Controller adds extra wires and is not easy to reach when mounted to back of case as directed ; Fairly noisy at high speed - 3600rpm
Although I'm not a big fan of the whole "Fatal1ty" branding on computer products, the reality is that most of them do perform better than the generic non-Fatal1ty products. This cooler has the potential to be the last GPU cooler you'll ever buy and...

PC enthusiasts are more than familiar with the Zalman company. Zalman has a long history of providing a wide range of cooling products that focus on high performance as well as quiet to near-silent operation. Zalman won us over from their very first...

Zalman expands its line of fine copper flower coolers into the gaming and modding arena with the "Fatal1ty" FS-C77 cooler. This cooler is one of many new enthusiast products to be given the "Fatal1ty" brand. The FS-C77 is geared towards gamers and...

The Zalman Fatal1ty is designed to kick in where modern cooling solutions for graphics cards leave off. With their increased noise and less than great performance and upgrade of your graphics card's cooler will help to keep things cool as well as make...
In the end the cooler does help, but you may be stuck for space as its wide enough to make the slot next to your graphics slot unusable, and very close in a SLI setup.
Expert review by : Benjamin "Zeus" Heide (bcchardware.com)
Today's high-end graphics cards require more power and generate more heat than ever before. Some of these latest generation cards have a "thermal threshhold" of more that 110°C. This means that the card will run without errors up to that temperature....
All copper construction ; Great performance at high/low fan speeds ; Clear, details installation instructions ; Red LED Fan ; Quiet at low speed
Red LED is a little weak ; Takes and extra PCI slot - close proximity in an SLI setup ; No fan controller - only high/low by Y adapter
Often times it's hard to work through a conclusion and be objective, but the Zalman FS-V7 Fatal1ty cooler is a winner no matter how you look at it. It has great looks, good construction and at low fan speeds is very quiet - virtually inaudible over...
