ZEROtherm GX700 and GX710

ZEROtherm are a relatively new player in the cooling market. They have a number of different heatsinks including the odd Butterfly range and flower coolers; all of which feature at least one heatpipe. Today I have two of their universal GPU coolers, let’s see how they perform…

These coolers are compatible with pretty much all of the ATI and nVidia cards on the market bar 8800’s:
Geforce 6600 series (not AGP)
Geforce 7600 series
Geforce 6800 series
Geforce 7800 series
Geforce 7900 series

The lack of support for 8800’s is not only due to the mounting hole positions, but the fact that these aren’t the biggest coolers in the world. The 8800 series is very hot, hence the ridiculously sized stock cooler that you get with it.

I didn’t even need the manual to install it was that easy. It’s done in less than 10 minutes, with most of the time spent removing the old heatpaste.
The cooler is slim enough for it to be used in SLI/Crossfire setups which is good news for gamers.
