Rating: Review Date: 11/19/07 |
Cons: blows the hot air across the motherboard, instead of pushing it out the back
Pros: quiet, keeps my core 2 very cool Comment:
Keeps an e6600 overclocked to 3.3 GHz below 50 degrees C but the RAM temps usually hover around 45. It is also quite large and difficult, though possible to install without removing the motherboard from the case. |

I've had this cooler for several months now and have had absolutely no trouble. Temps are way down even on a P4, nothing above 65 at max load. Idles consistently at 43. Very happy. |

Cons: takes up an abundance of room
Pros: Large surface area, cools well, easy setup with socket 478 Comment:
Really like this item. Keeps my P4 2.4C g 3.0ghz cooled at 30 degress celcius. I would definately recommend to anyone looking for a new heatsink to replace their stock intel HSF |

Cons: Huge, heavy, could be difficult to install without removing motherboard
Pros: Very efficient, very quiet in silent mode, cool not only cpu but ram and others components aswell. Comment:
I just got this one to replace my noisy stock HSK and boy this one is huge, took me sometime to install it without removing the motherboard out of the case but is worth the money and the time, drop my overall temp about 15C, from 68C load to 53C. Can be noisy in an OCed system but will be nearly silent if not OCing and set it in silent mode. Highly recommend. |

Cons: - Very large, touches my PSU
Pros: - Made of Copper, excellent for displacing heat- Very Quiet- Allowed me to overclock and keep my P4 3.2GHz at a nice cool temperature of 46C on full load Comment:
This is possibly the best cooler that money can buy. I just love it, it runs very very cool and quiet. Dropped my overclocked load temperatures by almost 10C.Very good quality. Worth my money, and worth yours! |

Cons: -Price, but you'd be paying close to $50 for something not even close to this baby.-May not be a good fit for some motherboards, it is fairly big
Pros: -Cools OC'd CPU like no one's business-Extremely Quiet, adjustable speeds-Mirror Finish bottom allows best possible contact between CPU and Heatsink for top heat transfer-Copper, Copper, Copper. Next best thing to Gold. Comment:
Purchase this an you will not be disappointed. Easy to install. Provides the best cooling, of course water cooling will do better, but thats a different story. Exceptionally Quiet. You will just love this. |

Cons: -maybe too big for some motherboards
Pros: -Huge fan-Effective big copper fins design-relatively quiet-easy installation-excellent quality Comment:
This heatsink is awesome!! My CPU is actually running the same if not cooler than when I was using the Evercool Watercooler; and I am running on Pentium D820 at 10% OC. The huge 120mm fan is really effective and fits my Asus P5LD2 Deluex without any issues! it looks great and it isn't too loud at all. In fact it is quieter than when I was running the water cooling system. And the price is great! It sure is the best bang for the buck. |

Cons: HUGE size and weight
Pros: ultra quiet, great cooling Comment:
Great product, bought it open box so the price was perfect. Running it on my p4 3.0E gig processor. The stock heatsink and fan weren't working well and the temps were going up to 70 degrees celsius while IDLING. This beast of a heatsink keeps my pc running at a cool 44 degrees on the low fan speed. Just had to bend some fins to make it fit around my ps but otherwise a good product. |

Cons: Humungous, heavy
Pros: Quiet, good cooling, cools surround parts a bit too Comment:
This is a high quality CPU heatsink. It's quiet and can help cool down surrounding parts a bit too. Full copper, so it has great cooling.It was easy enough to install, but I was a bit worried about the size. It just barely cleared the RAM. It's also pretty heavy. I secured it pretty good, but I still worry about a bit that it will fall off and squash my sound and video card.Ya, I'm happy with this. I'm even getting the Zalman VGA cooler too to compliment this. Also, make sure you check to see if it's compatible with your case, mobo, etc. If it is, this is a great thing to have. |

Cons: Weight is a scary issue considering it lies above your CPU, Video cards, and other PCI cards
Pros: Great designGood looksFANMATE!Amazing HSF for price I got it at. Comment:
Absolutely stunning.Idle- 24-26 Degrees CelsiusFull load (prime95 torture 2 hrs and a full night of CSS)- 35 Degrees Celsius*temps read in nTune and bios temp readings (not sure of reliability, but Asus Probe says that my CPU was at 130)This cooler does it all. It cools my CPU to chilly temps (3200+ Venice q 1.4V). It cools my passive nb hs (another excellent Zalman product- the ZM-NB47J) and my ram. All at the price of silence. The included fanmate helps reduce sound (apparently high speed/medium setting produces no sound even when the panel of my P180 is off) You rarely have to run it at full speed (unless your CPU is on the verge of melting)Weight is a grave issue as it weighs almost a kilogram- 500 grams more than the recommended weight given by AMD and Intel standards. But the installation solution seemed viable and im yet to hear about it falling off. Just make sure everything is nice and tight and that you read the directions more than once.All in all- an excellent product from Zalman. Quiet and efficient. |

Cons: Hanging damn near a kilo of copper off your motherboard is not for the faint of heart
Pros: Excellent at cooling, virtually silent even when the fan is running, which it doesn't do often Comment:
I remember the days when a half-pound alumium heatsink was huge. Hell, AMD's retail heatsinks aren't much bigger than that anyway.Enter this puppy, which weighs more than two pounds. I was a bit nervous about mounting it on the board (especially because it doesn't use the existing mounting bracket and the 2-point mounting system it DOES use doesn't seem like it could be nearly as stable as it actually is), but the installation went smoothly, and so far gravity has not tempted it to take the plunge through my video card and into the bottom of the case.This thing is a great cooler; with a stock X2 3800+ I get 23C at idle, 38C at load, and although the fan rarely spins up (stock cooling in the Antec P180 it calls home is also heroic), it does so silently.An excellent HSF overall. |

Cons: It's Huge and takes a bit of time to install
Pros: Great coolingRelatively quiet, especially with fan control Comment:
Dropped my dual core p4 idle temp from about 55 on the stock cooler to 39. That is also with the thermal paste that comes with the cooler. You might get cooler with arctic silver but I have no plans to overclock since my board doesn't support it. It was a tight fit in my case Antec Sonata II but it did squeeze in there. |

Cons: Heavy Weight
Pros: Cooling AbilityQuietnessLooks Comment:
My ASUS P5AD2-E Premium with an Intel 630 3.0GHz e 4.0GHz was hitting 55C on idle and 70C Load (all cooling options in bios disabled).Now I am hitting 44C on idle and 58 Load (all cooling options in bios disabled.Very nice indeed. One must remove the motherboard for the 775 processors but that is not really a big deal and those who wish to customize their pc's need to learn how to do this at any rate.R |

Cons: VERY big circumference
Pros: Better cooling than stock Intel S478 cooler, no need to remove motherboard from case to install a retention bracket (again on a S478) Comment:
This cooler is easy to install for a Socket 478 motherboard since it uses the existing Intel retention mechanism. It provides decent cooling; better than the stock Intel cooler, but something like the Big Typhoon performs better. One word of warning, the cooler is very wide! Make sure that you measure the free space in your case to make sure that it will fit. It just barely fit into mine! |

Cons: Huge SizeMount for 775 was a little difficult, but I got it on there
Pros: All copper designSupport many different mountsLow Noise Comment:
I was a little concerned about mounting this hug thing on my ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, but after fitting it on the board outside the case it looked fine. One of the benefits of this cooler, is that it will also cool done the Northbride and Southbridge Stack Cool 2 radiators on the board, so I do not need to use ASUS's active cooling. It is a bit heavy when compared to a CNPS7000-Alcu unit, but I guess it is because of the all copper design. The fan on it with out the Fan Mate 2 is not that bad, but I will be putting it on just to quiten it up a little more. I am using a Intel P4 630 with this cooler, and it keeps it pretty cool. |

Cons: Very anoying to install. DONT FORGET to put the back plate on before you screw in the mobo.
Pros: Very amazing HSF, it keeps my cpu at like 30c. It also cools the ram, video card and keeps good air flow in the case. Comment:
I am very pleased with this setup, i would say anyone with experence should get this. It does a good job on keeping all of your parts around it cool. Can be very anoying to install though. |

Cons: A bit too heavy, but not a real issue
Pros: All copper, very quiet, 120 mm fan Comment:
This heatsink is amazing. I'm currently at 29 idle and about 34 full load on my 3500+ Venice and I'm loving it. I did some OC'ing and the temperature on the CPU went up by just 1 degree. This is easily one of the best heatsinks on the market. Highly recommended. |

Pros: low rpmslow noisenot too expensivekeeps everything nice and cool Comment:
A truely great cpu cooler (my 3700+ oc to 2.7Ghz runs at 27ish idle, 37ish load). No real complaints with this, it seems to be one of the best coolers on the market and am very pleased. |
Running a q6600 on this baby is great. OC-ed to 3.0ghz and temps at 100% load are around 57-59. Very quiet also.
