Personally I would rather go with the Zalman. The newest Zalman has an 80mm fan attached to the side to help cool the Heatsink. I have an earlier version of the Zalman and what I did is mounted a Y.S. Tech 70mm fan to the Zalman FB123 Bracket. By doing this I droped my video card temps by 20F. My buddy has the same video card as I do and has the Giant II. His temps have only droped about 10F. Personally I would go for the Zalman..... but as for where they sell in the UK.... sorry can't help since I am in the US.

ok i just orderd a GIANT II from frozencpu like 4 days ago i should be gitting it tomarrow with some other neat toys $200+ of toys

any way the reasion of not gitting the Zalman is well its HUGE it must take up atlest 2-3 slots meening makeing one of ur pci slots totaly useless becouse of the 80mm fan

sry man ill sick with the Giant 2 why? well i have a side window that basicly is blowing right on the graphic card

but when i git the giant 2 ill take some benchmarks of the temps on it


and i just realized the Zalman will NOT work with my mobo becouse its so huge it would hit the NorthBrige Cooler

Well the Zalman uses the slot below it but in all actuallity you should never use that slot anyways since it shares the same IRQ as the AGP Slot...... But I understand your choice...... By the way....... the Giant is about the same size.......

OK i got my giant 2 it went on but the worst thing ever could happen.. no video .. im like ok... reset bios did some common stuff errors of why that happens .. i put a gf2 i had laying around in and BOOM it works .. im like shit wtf did i breat on my graphic card i searched and searched i looked making sure nothing metel hit the card .. it was clear as the sky and then i started taking it a part and as i got to taking the underchip sink off . the one nut CRUSHED 2 resistors i coundnt even see what # they were ... so i have to send it back to the company (the gf4) and git it refubished ..


ok heres my thought BE VERY VERY carfull when installing this into a nvidia based card make sure there is no small componits next to the holes in the card (where the heatsink holds on) and if there is use paper washers anywere from 4-7 i recremend !!
