Zalman ZM-GWB8800 Water Blocks

Without doubt, nVidia’s 8800 series graphics cards offer performance in a league of their own! Unfortunately, a problem can arise when you need to cool them safely and quietly. Factory pre-installed coolers work fine but they don’t give the world’s best cooling performance, and they can often produce a lot of noise!

Now, if you have a watercooling system such as a Zalman Reserator, you can extend its benefit to provide cooling for your 8800 graphics card too! Zalman have launched two long-awaited water blocks specifically for the job, and you can choose between them depending upon whether you have a GTS or an Ultra/GTX version of the GeForce 8800.

The ZM-GWB8800 blocks cleverly cool not only the main GPU but also the other components around the graphics card, such as the memory, FET and I/O chipset. The blocks are very low profile (only 31mm high) and so won’t take up any further slots. They are fully compatible with SLI systems and can accommodate a variety of pipe sizes as you can see from the specification table below. Remember we also sell extra piping in any length, should you require it.

PLEASE NOTE: The ZM-GWB8800 GTS is only compatible with 8800 GTS 320MB and 640MB cards. The new 512MB version is not supported.
