VGA Heatpipe Cooler

1.Features

1)By using a heatpipe, heat from GPU(sometimes referred to VPU, Video Processing Unit) can be dissipated efficiently without a cooling fan

2)The fanless design ensures complete noiselessness and semi-permanent, maintenance-free operation.

3)It can be used on virtually all kinds of graphics cards, so it can be reused with upgraded graphics cards. Note : The graphics cards without the heatsink mounting holes or with components that interfere

with the heatsink cannot accommodate this product.

4)User can install the quiet cooling fan (ZM80C Option Package 'ZM-OP1', sold separately) without using the bracket for fan attachment.

5)With the optional fan (ZM-OP1), the graphics card will operate in more stable condition by cooling the memories on the card as well as VGA chipset.

2.Specifications

-Weight : 325g

-Heatpipe : Gold Plated Copper Tube

-Dissip. Material : Aluminum

-Dissip. Area : 1200Cm2

3.Usable Graphics Card Types

Cards with heatsink mounting holes

Note 1) When using this product with Matrox Parhelia series graphics cards or GeForce FX 5800 (or higher model), the optional fan (ZM-OP1) must be used.

Note 2) When installing on an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, it is recommended to use the quiet cooling fan (ZM-OP1).

Note 3) If the components on the graphics card interfere in any way with the heatsink components, you cannot use this heatsink. In such a case, you should immediately stop installation and return the product.

Note 4) Since the heatsink weighs 325g, the graphics card equipped with this heatsink should be attached tightly inside the PC case with a screw when installing. Also special care should be taken while the computer is moved. (Zalman Tech. Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damage to a system or a graphics card occurring when moving a computer.)

Note 5) The heatsink occupies an adjacent PCI slot.

Note6) Before using this product for any other VGA chipset, please check the compatibility at Zalman’s website(www.zalman.co.kr)

Cautions on Installation and Use

1.The computer should be placed according to the following diagrams in order for the product to function properly. If the set-up is so that the graphics card’s GPU faces upwards, then it is not appropriate for this product. If you attempt to adjust the positioning of the computer by flipping it in a reverse direction, the product will not function properly either, so you should place your computer case in a normal position.

2.As shown in figure, if the northbridge cooler is 25mm tall(or bigger)and located within 5.5mm from

AGP slot, an interference may occur. When used with Zalman No Noise CNPS7000 series cooler, if CPU retention guide is located within 35 mm from AGP slot, ZM80C-HP can not be installed.

3. The GPU (VPU) temperature can be lowered by 4~5 by opening up the slot covers on the case below the

AGP slot .

4. While the ZM80C-HP can sufficiently cool itself without a fan, it is designed to accommodate an 80mm fan directly on the heatsink. Therefore, a quiet cooling fan (ZM80C

Option Package) can be installed to increase performance. (The ZM80C Option Package (see Components section, #9) is composed of a slim 80mm fan [80x80x15], a fan grill, and necessary parts for attaching. This product is sold separately.)

5.For a complete noiseless system, use the following Zalman products to achieve stable and silent computing environment : ZM300A-APF power supply, CPU cooler of CNPS series, ZM-NB47J mainboard northbridge chipset cooler, ZM-2HC1 heatpipe HDD cooler and ZM-F1 system fan.
