Zalman VF3000A VGA Cooler Review
Installation on a GeForce GTS 250
Contents
In order to test the VF3000A, we installed it on our Zotac GeForce GTS 250, which you can check in Figures 9 and 10.

In Figure 11, you can see the base of the VF3000A with the screws installed in the holes that are compatible with our VGA. Now you just need to apply thermal compound on the GPU, put the cooler in place, and fasten four thumbnuts to hold the cooler in place.

In Figure 12, you can see the Zalman VF3000A installed on our VGA. We didn’t install the heatsinks on the memory chips. Unfortunately, the VRM transistor heatsink did not fit our card, because it needed a specific three-hole perforation. Actually, the VF3000A is designed for ATI cards; the VF3000N is the model for NVIDIA cards.
