Zalman VF1000

IMO it's an enhanced clone of the stock 7900 GTX cooler, with some differences:
1) it uses a low-profile 80 mm LED fan, versus the 92 mm of the 7900 GTX, this fan could be noisy and subject to replacement.
2) a lot more fin area (0.3 mm thick) and patented 'variable fin profile'; so not variable thickness as I first thought.
3) claims to be enough for a 8800 card, which I believe for the GTS, but have some doubts for the GTX.

There's also a ?NF100, passive cooling with 3 heatpipes for upto 7950GT or X1800XL, if my eyes didn't misread something.

Yeah, there is some resemblance, but it seems more like AC S1+ Turbo to me (basically two fans on top of S1).

Those fins are so closely packed that I doubt it'll ever be quiet for practical cooling. AC S1 for me all the way.

The cooler looks promising however, I'm very dissapointed by the VF-900 fan... So this one is not for me.

That's the VNF (no fan, 3 heatpipes). Is anyone selling the VF1000 (with fan, 4 heatpipes) yet?
