    im thinking of buying a cooling solution for my computer, ive decided to go for air cooling instead of liquid. The parts of that i wanna cool are the gpu and the cpu. Im thinking of these coolers,

    For the GPU: Zalman VF700-CU

    For the CPU: Thermaltake Blue Orb 2 or Zalman VF700-CU
    (which one of these is better? )

    Ive read the reviews and all the reviews think they are good but big, my question is, will they fit on the cpu and gpu without obscuring any parts (such as the ram) ? And also, are these the best air cooling solutions you can get today?
    thanks

    I don't know much about the CPU coolers but the VF700 should fit fine. I have the AlCu version on my 9600XT and it works brilliantly. Of course, if you are looking into better GPU cooling for a 7800GTX, i'd check out the products from Artic Cooling first.

    thanks pelvis, i looked up some of the arctic cooling products and turned out that the Arctic NV Silencer 5 (Rev. 3) has the best cooling performance out there, i would have liked an led light, but hey, you cant get everything!
    thanks
