Rating: - Zalman CNPS9700LED
This was a relatively easy install, but I have been building my own machines since 1988. I don't think this would be a good idea for a novice unless they are mechanically inclined. You should be forewarned, to do your research and make sure the case is big enough for this cooler! I installed this cooler in an Antec 900 case on an XFX 780i motherboard. It was a pretty close fit. You would only want to install this massive cooler on the board before installing the board in the case. If you are doing an upgrade you will almost without a doubt have to remove the motherboard to install this cooler. ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent cooler
I can't recommend this cooler highly enough. I've used several Zalman cooling products, including water cooling, and all their stuff is of excellent quality and reliability.
I've bought three of these fans for my most recent builds, and they are fantastic. Even with a quad core CPU, I run this on the lowest speed and it keeps things nice and cool (and quiet!).
The only "con" is that they're dangerous to handle. Take care with it or you'll slice your hands up.
Rating: - Keeps cold
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.

Rating: - Best CPU Cooler
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.
Rating: - Cooler, quieter, and more full featured
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 ... Read More
