ZM80C-HP Zalman Video Heatpipe

Product Description

ZM80C-HP Zalman Video Heatpipe

This newest version of Zalman's Quiet Video Card Heatpipe improves upon Zalman's revolutionary product (Zalman's original video heatpipe, the ZM80A-HP).

With the Zalman ZM80C-HP, Zalman has outdone itself. This quiet video heatpipe responds to a need for even greater cooling with a design that accomodates a noiseless fan (ZM-OP1) on its heatsink. Also, Zalman has cut down on the weight of this heatsink. The ZM80C-HP weighs in at 325g compared to 400g for the ZM80A-HP. While special care should still be taken when moving a computer with the heatsink attached, at 325g it is a much more stable setup than the 400g ZM80A-HP. Yet this new model of Zalman's video card heatpipe (ZM80C-HP) cools just as well as the older model (ZM80A-HP) - even better with the addition of the ZM-OP1 quiet video heatpipe fan. With the use of the ZM-OP1 this video card heatpipe can cool even the NVIDIA GeForce FX5800 or higher model, the Matrox Parhelia, and the Radeon 9800 Pro.

Features: The Zalman Video Heatpipe creates absolutely NO NOISE or vibration. This fanless heatsink for a GPU (Video Chipset) uses a heatpipe to increase the video card heatsink's cooling efficiency. Zalman's Silent Video Card Heatpipe (ZM80C-HP) is a completely quiet (fanless) alternative to your high-end video card fan. Since the video heatpipe does not use any moving parts, the heatpipe ensures complete noiselessness and permanent, maintenance-free operation.

Does the ZM80C-HP work the same as the ZM80A-HP? Yes it does. The ZM80C-HP is an almost identical design to the ZM80A-HP. Just like the ZM80A-HP, it is highly compatible with a huge array of video cards. Like the ZM80A-HP, this heatpipe (the ZM80C-HP) does require that the video card have heatsink mounting holes (an extremely common feature of video cards).
