SLK947U, or SP94, with 92mm Papast or Panaflo fan. Or CNPS7000-CU.

Or a CNPS7000-AlCu, since those are better than the Cu.

Yep, definatly the CNPS7000-AlCu as it is much lighter than the CNPS7000-Cu and is great for silent cooling. i bought one last week.

The only site where I saw a direct comparison said the AlCu also cooled better!

I purchased the Zalman CNPS-7000AL-CU, while it is relatively quiet, it seems mediocre in performance, on my P-4 3.0c cpu my temp readings are 43-44c idle, with the case cover off. I would highly suggest that you get either the Thermalright 947-U, or the SP-94 as Scottchen recomended.As i am going to purchase also,(any body want to buy any Zalman products one slightly used CNPS-7000AL-Cu? can't rma it as I had it sitting around for awhile also the CNPS6500B-Alcu,P-4 to 2.8Ghz, zalman heatpipe with fan, don't remember the model #.Both brand new never used.)

What are you using for a case? My Cpu temps while web surfing are 45C stock hsf.

 

[VChuck]

I have that casetek towerCK-1019 I bought at Newegg, the aluminum one with the side window(I believe that it's sold out now)I think that it's an airflow problem, as the front 2 fans are blocked somewhat becayse of their positioning.

 

[VChuck]

I apologize. I was'nt that clear, the only reason my temps are slightly lower than your temps is because that I have my case cover off. with it on, My cpu P-4 3.0c was at about46-47c, (needs better airflow.) I think this case is almost exactly like the Xaser-III config.Since they are sold out of this case at Newegg,(Casetek CK-1019)I lucked out it was only $50.00, I think that this case by Thermaltake (minus the Hard-cano and something) is over a $100 any way that at least will give you a visual

 

[svend]

right now my cpu temps with the standard p4 cooler in a Lian-Li PC-6077 case is 31c
the asus card is running around 40c I haven't put the left side on yet cause i'm still working on the system.

[VChuck]

Man, thats what I'm talking about.I keep hearing about low temp readings, like yours and I've got my stock cooler for the 3.0c on my old willamette P-4 1.8ghz.and it brings it down to 43c at idle, about 55cload gaming.Not great but,acceptable.I am trying to purchase a couple of stock 3.2c P-4 coolers on e-bay,so that Ialso can achieve some of those low temps,man some of those reviews that I read on the Zalman coolers (ihave two of em)seem like a bunch of BS

 

[Crashman]

Sure, I'm broke, but I can scrape up $10 for that cooler if you want to sell it.

[VChuck]

Hmm, I don't know now if I want to sell it now as I was thinking about using it on my soyo dragon mobo,Ihad sitting around.(CNPS-7000AL-cu)however if your talking about the CNPS-6500B-ALCu, let me think about it. sorry ittook this long to answer you,(out and about) however I will consider it, I have a friend of mine has a killer deal on a new oem 9800pro128mg he said he wanted $50 for (I can't believe it!)that I'm gonna try to barter for if not, I'll def. let you know sir.

 

[VChuck]

I decided to keep it,sir, as I don't plan to overclock(yet)I am going to try to modify it,as Idon't think that Zalman is offering any fan kits for the CNPS-7000A,I definitely don't want to get on your badside sir!But I'm gonna keep it on my GA-8KNXP for now.still trying to barter for that oem 9800-pro my friend has.But it sounds too good to be true
