TT DUO ORB VS ZALMAN VF-900 (reveiw)

freaksavior · May 28, 2008

Bump, finished it guys.

dark2099 · May 28, 2008

I do need to pick up a different cooler for my other 3870, have a TT Duo Orb on one. I haven't seen temps as high as you have, but I'll give a whirl now mebbe.

500th post!!!

freaksavior · May 28, 2008

hmm, well idk i tested them both under the same conditions exactly so.

dark2099 · May 28, 2008

I ran a test for a while the same way as you, got up to 85c, slightly do to my case possibly. Guess I didn't ever really push the card for as long.

freaksavior · May 28, 2008

i ran it for 10 min / 600 sec

dark2099 · May 28, 2008

Mine was about 3 min into it when it hit those temps.

freaksavior · May 28, 2008

yeah run it longer. i found peaked at about 10min run.

freaksavior · May 28, 2008

I personally like my article.. sticky it or move it to a more appropriate section please?

Cold Storm · May 28, 2008

Freaksavior, that is a pretty good review on two products side by side! I learned a thing or two from it!

ghost101 · May 28, 2008

Should redo idle temps with the BIOS flashed to thos 3d clocks so ati powerplay can kick in. Otherwise good.

lemonadesoda · May 28, 2008

PLEASE comment on noise levels. I know you probably dont have a fancy detector...but at a qualitative level, which is quieter? At the same price, same performance, it comes down to silence.

WarEagleAU · May 28, 2008

Awesome Freaksavior. Thanks.

freaksavior · May 29, 2008

Sorry for double bump but i added it. its under conclusion and performance for each cooler

thats to much trouble just for idle temps. to me the max core temp is more important.

if i am bored then i will fix it.

The duo-orb I got from you freaksavior has my HD3850 idling at 31c.

WarEagleAU · Jun 27, 2008

I got the zalman, I want to put it on my 3870 but the IceQ3 cooler exhausts heat out the back, which is crucial seeing as I got two intake fans and one outtake fan.
