Overview
The Zalman Fatal1ty is designed to kick in where modern cooling solutions for graphics cards leave off. With their increased noise and less than great performance and upgrade of your graphics card’s cooler will help to keep things cool as well as make it quieter in this case. The Zalman Fatal1ty FS-V7 is designed with good looks and quiet performance in mind.
The fan itself operates at two different speeds a higher speed and lower speed, as well as an idle. Temperatures for the test done at benscustomcases showed that temperatures at the fans lower speed were still lower than the temperatures attained by the stock eVGA cooler on the card they tried. The lower speed also means its quieter.
In the end the cooler does help, but you may be stuck for space as its wide enough to make the slot next to your graphics slot unusable, and very close in a SLI setup.
The FS-V7 is compatible with AGP and PCI-E (PCI Express) graphics cards which have pushpin holes around the GPU.
