Zalman Zm80d-hp Noiseless VGA cooler
Fanless cooling solutions are very popular these days, people want quiet yet effective computers that are able to take some heat.
Zalman has specialized in fanless solutions and today we have their latest vga cooler which consist of two big heatsinks connected to each other through
two heatpipes that go on each side of the video card, is this something that will work? We will test some overclocking and gaming to see if
we can run a stable videocard with this.

We have earlier looked at an earlier model of this cooler from Zalman which has only one heatpipe but this new version comes with two.
The last one was no fun to put together but somehow this seems a bit easier. The product was well packed and you can find some inctructions
on how to mount everything together on the back of the package.

The manual is very well made with easy pictures and descriptions that you will understand. There is alot of parts but that's just because
this can be mounted on different types of video cards therefore the parts. The two big heatsinks go one on each side of the card and the small
part here is the one that holds the heatpipe down on the front side of the card. All the parts are labeled front and back so you can see
what goes where.

Remember to check what parts are needed for your video card first so you can sort out the extras. The small heatsinks are mounted on the ram on your video card.
Thermal paste is included along with a screwdriver so you have everything you need in this kit.
