i prefer the artic version.. two reasons.. the zalman dosnt exhaust the hot air out of the case the artic one does.. also the zalman fan dosnt plug into the cards fan socket which means the fan speeds cannot be software controled.. the artic one does..

nit picking aside either one will do a good job of cooling the grfx card..
