[snowysoul]

what really suprises me is that for once in a good while Tom's has posted a computer hardware item. No back to Tom's posting more useless info about companies.

To all the nay sayers... if you actually own one, try installing it properly. The case you use, and fan setup also needs to be taken into consideration.

Look at these 4.25ghz, WPrime temps and tell me what is there not to like ? haha..

Zalman CNPS 9900NT - cpu vcore 1.45v (soon to be lapped)

Zalman CNPS 12X - cpu vcore 1.475v (lapped)

And don't get me started on my VF3000N ! 😀

I have a ol' wolfdale overclocked to 4.0ghz, at max load i get 45-46c on the cnps 9900max.

The funny thing is, the fan pulls so much air that it actually keeps my gfx card like 5c cooler. When I got this cooler it was one of the few air sinks that came with a pwm fan. When combined with the included resistor cable for the pwm connection, it's pretty quite.

[citation][nom]xkm1948[/nom]Not very impressed with zalman, Used to have a cnps9700 on my old rig with q6600. It cant even keep it cool under stock speed. They do look pretty though.[/citation]
Ahahaha - Ever heard of thermal paste?

And P.S. I am running the 9700 on my Q6600 rock solid stable @ 3.00 ghz for over 5 years. I could push it to 3.4 and be under 70c but could never get the prime95 to pass. Pretty sure it wasn't heat related - I just didn't win the "chip" lottery.

Zalman aren't made for looks man... Ask someone who is versed in underclocking to make sure you installed it right - no offense.
