Question 1

Can the LED be disabled/turned off?

Accepted Answer

As far as I know it cannot. The best you could do would be to pull the diode off of the unit itself but I don't think that would be a good idea unless you know what you are doing. It isn't a super bright Led though.

Question 2

Does this fit an AM3+ socket cpu?

Accepted Answer

It may not look it but yes and in any direction make sure it is facing the right way

Question 3

dose it work with lga 1150?

Accepted Answer

specification says it works Intel LGA 775 / 1155 / 1156 but not 1150.

it will not work with LGA 1150

Question 4

Hi, will this CPU fan support the upcoming Skylake CPU socket?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Oh man, I feel stupid now. Disregard the last answers. They were meant for a graphics card review. As for this CPU cooler, more than likely this cooler will be able to fit since the surface is flat and the brackets mount to intel style motherboards. But there is no gaurentee since we don't know if they will stick with the same MOBO designs. I don't see why they would change, but there is a chance. I would say there isn't too much to worry about as far as compatibility goes.

Question 5

Will this fit in an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe mobo and leave me enough room for all four RAM sticks?

Accepted Answer

I have the ASUS Sabertooth which is pretty much the same size and layout and have no problems with fitting all four RAM chips in, so I don't see why you would have an issue.

Question 6

Trying to install, however, there's no bottom bracket in the box. Is this necessary for installation or is the top mount enough? (maximus VII formula/4790k)

Accepted Answer

don't think you need the backplate. the topmount should be enough.         the nuts that go on the 
backside recess into the holes of the motherboard. 
check the zalmon website for the 9700.  they have an installation video to watch

hope this helps

Question 7

asus p5be?

Accepted Answer

Yup just looked up your motherboard CPU socket type and a 775 is on the list for compatible CPUs.

Question 8

Does this fit socket 1366? I see at one sight it says that is does fit
the 1366 and another sight says it doesnt

Accepted Answer

read the fine print in the specs, you have to purchase an additional 5 dollar bracket to make it fit with 1366. That's what i did.

Question 9

will this work on a FX 8350 cpu ?

Accepted Answer

The Zalman CNPS9700 will work with this CPU. 
I've used a Zalman CPU Cooler for many years now with my computer, and it's always kept things running cool & quiet.

Good Luck!

Question 10

is this cooler compatible with 1150 socket type ? thank you

Accepted Answer

Yes there is a bracket for that. You may be able to find it on newegg or lookup Zalmans site. Newegg doesnt allow me to give you a direct link but its there.
