7800GTX Silencing- VF900 or VF700CU?

[Noni]

Hi there,

I just got a second hand VF700CU for £11.50, but I noticed the VF900 to be better in everyway.

The VF700CU, as I said I bought for £11.50, I can get the VF900 for £23.50, should I get the VF900???

Im looking to run the fan on minimum setting 24/7 with a zalman fanmate.

Thank you!

If you already got a vf700 then I wouldn't waste more money but if you got the dough to burn, I guess a vf900 is preferred. That vf900 has dropped temps and allowed me to voltmod it to 700/1800.

If silence is your main concern then I wouldn't spend more money. A VF900 will cool better than the VF700 however..

Well I can sell the VF700 if it makes any difference.

Thanks for the replies.

VF900 is a great heatsink for high end card or current generation. So, VF700 belongs to 6800/X800 generation or older, IMO.

Nothin beat heatpipe.
