A couple of small but useful new coolers from Zalman, the Korean masters of
all things cooling.
First up is the ZM-VHS1 – a small heatsink designed to cool the HSI (High
Speed Interconnect) bridge chips in Nvidia’s Geforce 6600 series of graphics
cards.
Unsurprisingly, Zalman recommends you use it with the company’s own VF700 VGA
Cooler for maximum cooling.
The ZM-NB32K could be the answer if you have a noisy northbridge cooler –
standard northbridge coolers are usually attached to the motherboard by
pushpins.
Constructed from aluminium and just 32mm high, the ZM-NB32K is a passive
cooler replacement designed for smaller cases. If you have room and want more
cooling, the taller ZM-NB47J (£7) is available.
