I've never messed with one myself, but most of the reviews I've seen were pretty dissapointed with the zalman block. in other words, you can do better.

Go w/ Aqua Computer 6800 block, it is brilliant and made in Germany.

I've got a Danger Den NV-68 on my Gainward 6800GT GS, no issues at all with it. Drops the temps by 10 degrees over the standard, very noisy, air cooler it comes fitted with. Also cools the ram.

Not exactly cheap mind you...

w/ water cooling GPU, I thought the bigger is better, so have a look at the above link.

I just can't see how can that little vga water block can do the job compares to the above

scroll down a bit and you can see the aqua 6800 water block
