i love the look of the zalman cpu coolers but i have to say i have never used one so not to sure wat they are like i have a freezer 64 pro at the mo but really would like some advice on a zalman if anyone has had good experience with them would you mind letting me no your thoughts

many thanks
 
I have the Zalman CNPS9700NT on my AMD 6000+X2 system, it is a great cooler imo, it keeps my chip really cool, and the Windsor core 6000+ runs really HOT!!

I even used this cooler on my i7 for a while, it used to keep the i7 cool when I had it running @ 3.8GHz.

But the 9500 is also really nice I have heard, and it was selling for £12.99 on here, I am not sure if it still is or not though.

Here you go mate

cheers for that mate i will have a look at it, will it cool my phenom II x4 do you think? also do you get a bracket to mount it on or do you use the one that come with your amd board?
 
If it can keep an i7 920 o/ced to 3.8GHz cool it's gonna keep a PII X4 cool I should think. :)

And yes, it comes with a clip to mount it to the retention bracket on the mobo.
 
Yes it will fit that board mate, it uses a small clip that goes through the center of the HSF and clips down onto that black retention bracket on the mobo.

Here is a pic of the clip it uses, or at least, this is the clip that the 9700NT uses, I am assuming they both use the same one...

thats great mate thanks so much for that think i might give it ago, hopefully be easy to install, my freezer 64 pro idles my phenom II at 32c do you really think that this could compete with that?
 
Used to use that cooler on my Q6600 overclocked to 3.4GHz a pretty decent cooler and a bargain at that price.
 
i have just been looking at the Zalman CNPS 10X cooler seems to have got very good reviews anyone have one or tested one of these?
