*Looks awesome
*Low profile LED
*Works better than stock cooler
*Cost effective
*Didn't seem to offer much more cooling than my old 9700...
Temps stayed approximately the same with 35-38c idle with my Phenom II x4 956 @ 3.4 GHZ
Under load it doesn't go over 46c - the 9700 would hit 49c or so max under load... marginal performance improvement.
I had a hell of a time trying to mount this without watching a video or checking the website - I gutted out my old chasis and put all my new parts into the new chasis so I didnt have internet during the install, but I eventually figured it out after reading the directions 30 times!
Personally - I liked the latch system the 9700 used...
***WARNING***
If you are mounting this to an AMD board - MAKE SURE YOU WATCH A VIDEO ON HOW TO DO AND I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HAVING SOMEONE ELSE HELP YOU IN THE PROCESS!!!
You will need:
*Patience
*An allen wrench (approx 3/16 in diameter)
*A helping hand or two
*A sandwich
The LED light is really not that noticeable unless you look at it from a certain angle, the blue is much brighter.
Make sure to do a test mount before applying your thermal compound/grease!!!
Overall, I give it 4 eggs for marginal performance improvement... all the other things I mentioned just come with the territory :p
I previously had a Cooler Master Hyper 212. Either this cooler is significantly better or my application method was better when I installed it.
Idle temperatures
~ 40C Cooler Master
~ 36C Zalman
High load (Prime 95)
~ 56C Cooler Master
~ 46C Zalman
Installing this thing on my AM3+ motherboard was a disaster. My Cooler Master's backplate was secured by screws and nuts; the Zalman's backplate is secured by two sided tape. The backplate pulling away from the motherboard while trying to get the last scew in was a serious issue. I managed to get it on, but who knows how much damage I did.

| Features | Powerful Cooling Performance [Qmax: 300W] Optimally designed pure copper fins effectively disperse heat away from the CPU via composite heatpipes, while the high capacity 135mm fan quickly cools the heatsink for stable operation of high performance CPUs. Ultra Quiet 135mm Red LED Fan An ultra quiet 135mm fan is incorporated for minimized noise. The Blue / Red LEDs heighten the cool aesthetics. Black-Pearl Nickel Plating The entire copper heatsink of CNPS9900 MAX is ’Black-Pearl’ Nickel Plated for long-term corrosion resistance, while the deep "Black-Pearl" tone along with the high intensity Blue / Red LEDs reinforce its powerful aesthetics. PWM Fan Speed Control The PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) Fan automatically adjusts fan speed(RPM) according to the CPU’s temperature, while the included Resistor Cable(RC7P) provides the option of reducing the input voltage for overall reduction of fan speed and noise. High Performance Super Thermal Grease ZM-STG2 The included all new high performance thermal grease ZM-STG2 maximizes heat transfer from the CPU to the base of CNPS9900 MAX for intensified cooling performance. Versatile Compatibility CNPS9900 MAX accommodates a broad range of sockets. Intel LGA2011 / 1155 / 1156 / 1150 / 1366 / 775 AMD FM2 / FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2 |
