Keeps cold September 23, 2008
Keeps my CPU at 32C at idle and 37C with a normal load on it (AutoCAD). Dropped the temps ~5C compared to the stock HSF. Blue LED looks great with my Antec 900.
It's HUGE! I had about 1cm between the top of this HSF and the side panel on my case. But regardless it fits fine even with a fan on the side panel.
My only complaint was how long it took to ship. I ordered it the same day I ordered a bunch of other parts and it took more than a week longer to get here, taking a total of 12 business days to arrive.
Specs: C2D E8500, Asus P5Q-E, 4gb XMS2, 600w w0129ru, eVga 9600gt, Antec 900.
Best CPU Cooler September 23, 2008
Excellent CPU cooler, with adjustable speed control is just what I need for my computer which runs 24 hour a day. I can adjust the speed to minimum when not in use. Also, it has a cool blue LED inside fan which gives a nice effect for you case.
Cooler, quieter, and more full featured September 7, 2008
I could not recommend this product more highly. It is an upgrade over a standard 'retail' heatsink & fan assembly in every way. Not only will it let your cpu run cooler, it also is much quieter and comes with a good quality thermal compound and fan controller included. I always avoided buying these higher end heatsink and fan assemblies in the past to save a few dollars, but after seeing first hand how they perform, I've changed my opinion completely. Try it for yourself and I think you will be very impressed. On the low fan setting this unit is perfect for building a silent PC, but even set on high the fan is still much quieter then retail units from the manufacturer.
Zalman CNPS9700LED, the best Core 2 Duo cooling fan. September 1, 2008
The Zalman CNPS9700LED is simply the best Socket 775 fan;
- The coolest looking.
- Best cooling performance over all other competitors, i had my Core 2 Duo E6750 temp @ 66C before installation, after i installed this beast i had my cpu temp @ 44C on lowest fan speed.
- So quiet.
Very cool, very quiet August 25, 2008

This is an excellent cooler not just for people looking to overclock their computers, but also for anyone looking for a quiet cooling solution for their CPU. It offers great cooling as well as very low noise.
The design is excellent and extremely attractive to look at if you have a case that lets you see inside. The blue LEDs really set off the copper fins.
As others have mentioned, this cooler is *very large, so make sure you look at the dimensions to see if it will fit in your case. Odds are, if you have a 120mm exhaust fan in your case this should fit. The cooling fins are held above the motherboard, so you shouldn't have any trouble with motherboard heatsinks touching the zalman. Your main concern is the height of the cooler fitting in the case. This cooler can also be set in any orientation (providing you have the room) to blow air front, back, up or down depending on how you have your airflow setup. Most people will set this to blow air out the back of the case, and usually this will lineup directly with your case's exhaust fan.
Mounting is very easy, although you will definitely have to remove the motherboard from the case as it comes with its own backplate. The backplate and mount screw right in and after you apply thermal paste to the CPU (there is a zalman paste that comes with this, or you can get the better Artic Silver 5 also called AS5) the cooler screws right into the mount. The included directions and a little common sense are all you need.
Once installed, you can choose to plug this into your motherboard and let it decide the fan speed or you can use the included Fan Mate 2 controller to manually control the speed of the fan. I use the fan mate controller to turn the speed down all the way to "silent". At that setting it really is silent, as I can hear everything else including hard drives, power supply, video card, etc before I hear this fan. If I'm doing something where I know I need extra cooling, I just turn the controller up a little bit, but usually it stays in silent.
For me, the controller kept my Q6600 quad core at 28c (82F) at idle and 47c (116F) during full load with stock speed at 2.4Ghz. With the Q6600 overclocked to 3.2Ghz, temperature only increases to 30c at idle and 50c at full load. Those are very good temperatures and were achieved at a lot less noise than with the standard cooler that comes with the chip.
Other coolers that are comparable in both cost, performance and noise are the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme and Tuniq Tower.
