Used this in an HTPC build (years ago). It was very quiet and kept the CPU nice and cool, and beat everything else in it's price range. Zalman rocks!

The F1Plus works well. Its not too noisy. Fits perfectly in the cases. The silicone pins are good for intake vents, use case screws though on exhaust vents.

I ordered the Zalman CNPS 7000 Cu for my brother's Dell Dimension 3000 Pentium 4 3.0ghz Prescott /w Hyper Threading Technology. On the stock Intel heatsink (Just a copper heatsink with a funnel attached to a 92mm fan on the rear of the case), the temperatures would easily hit the 45+°C on idle, and would march up around the high 50°C's under load practically making his computer a personal space heater. This is expected of Prescott's, they are known to run this hot.The room temperature is constantly in the low 70°F's, and my Celeron (Northwood) doesn't come close to overheating nor does it reach the 50's, and it is in an enclosed space with one opening, the rear of the cabinet. My brother's computer is on a platform, and can get air from any direction. So cooler room temperatures were not helping the CPU get any colder.We got this fan in, and immediately put it on. Installation took no more than an hour (had to clean the case and parts out while we were at it). We had to take the motherboard out because of its size, but that isn't a problem with us. This fan is big and heavy, I can't stress that enough. The motherboard is a MicroATX board in a MicroATX case so most will think the fan won't fit, luckily this does. The only thing the fan came close to touching is the RAM, but after the RAM is seated, it is clearly out of the way. It hovers over about 10-20% of the Northbridge heatsink, and the first RAM slot so you can expect some heat to be picked up by the fan making everything else cooler as well. It was a little heavy, but not heavy enough to strain the board or any critical part with its weight.If you go to Zalman's website, they have a guide on how much space you need to measure from your slot to other parts of the PC to make sure it fits, and whether or not your motherboard will have any problems with it.Zalman wanted to make sure this heatsink was on the processor, so they give you two metal brackets and a couple of screws to get this heatsink on the CPU tightly (very tightly). When you put the brackets on, do a little bit on each side at a time. Zalman states this in the booklet, and will even demonstrate it on their website. It is so they can get the tightest fit, and not break the motherboard, brackets, cooler, or screws.It includes some thermal grease which isn't that bad, but I'm waiting for some Arctic Silver 5 to come in. With the Zalman heatsink/fan and their grease, the P4 doesn't rise above 48°C on load. So an amazing 10°C lower than the stock Intel heatsink. Not only that, it is quiet, even without the fan controller. So quiet, that you can hear the A/C vents (they are quiet too) over it. If you put your hand where the airflow comes out, it is always cold which is what we have been aiming for. It used to be warm air all the time. When we get the Arctic Silver 5 in, I would expect about a 5°C temperature drop since it practically does just that over standard greases. That is reserved for another review.All in all, get this Zalman if you have a Pentium 4, and are needing a colder solution without having to buy an expensive water cooling set. It is worth every penny. If you have the extra space, don't hesitate to get the CNPS 7700. It is the same thing, just bigger and with a 120mm fan. Also the 7700's come with the Fanmate 2 controller which works much better than the Fanmate 1.

If you're like me and have an AMD Athlon XP (Socket 462 aka A), and a mid-tower ATX case, you probably want to look elsewhere. The heatsink is so wide that if the CPU is on the end of the motherboard that's close to the power supply, forget it - this will not fit.

i have a intel mother board with a lga775 socket, had to buy the optional braket but did not have to remove backing plate. so no dissasembly required in my case, this is one serious hunk of copper and is as efective as it is heavy. time will tell on if the motherboard will hold but so far so good. plenty of surface area, and fan spedd 4/5

I first opened this thinking this is going to be a project to do. It says in the add it supports socket 939 but on the box it doesn't have it listed.. I began to panic but calmly opened the case and removed the old fan. I was thinking great this thing is 2wice the size as the old one and there are barely any parts that came with it. The good thing is I didn't need any of the brackets or screws that came with it and the fan housing screws where the existing fan mount to the mother board fits. I just had to unscrew and screw back in with the zalman housed to the old mount. It took me a few minutes to figure that out but after that it was a snap to install. It comes with a manual fan adjuster as well. it is a simple fan that does the trick.. this is the first day i've had it so i can't comment on durability but they have a good enough reputation i'm not worried about it. So far this is a great investment and it improved computer performance immediatly. I also had to reroute the cables inside the computer but that only took a few minutes. plastic tie wraps woulld be a good idea. it took ruffly 10 minutes to install. it is a few inches wider in diameter than the old fan but it fitted without being an obstruction. the conductive grease it came with was the hardest thing to open and get to sqeeze out. I think i was running about 49C under full load now it's about 43 in a hot room that has no ac. I imagine much cooler if you have an air conditioned room or in colder temps over a generic stock fan.

This fan is ok. I don't get the hype. It is kind of quiet. Keeping the cpu cool is just ok-there are better fans out there.

Nice quiet fans. Cheap. I'm not aiming for complete silence but I did want to keep this computer fairly quiet as it is our PVR in the family room. Even without the quieting resistor adapter, I cannot hear these fans. You would probably need to use the adapter if you wanted complete silence.

Could not be more happy with this cooler, solid copper all over and it lights up blue. It also cooled my CPU over 10*C versus the stock cooler, highly recommend.

and keeps the CPU 10 degrees cooler! Wow. A little involved to install, as you have to completely disassemble your existing PC to replace the CPU fan, but no biggie if you are making a new PC.

Wow, This is one hunk of copper! Runs about 150g more then rated board strength for AMD socket 462. So be extra careful when moving the CPU. Was quite pleased with The fast shipping, This GA-7DX© (2.2) was running 132 - 145 Deg. After installing Which requires total removal of the mother board, and mounting two base plates with a 4 hold MB, was tricky, you can't have any Capacitors taller than 15 mm (surprise)or (0.59in) located under the CPU. This board was OK with that, but had a issue with the hold down clip and (1) a capacitor; the fan hold down clip has two holes on each side of the processor hold downs, this 2001 Millennia Max XP, clip cleared the power supply plug, but hit the capacitor next to the ram, but before I ran to Radio Shack, I removed the fan from the heat sink, and took the hold down clip to the shed, and cut off 1/8th " (HACK SAW REQUIRED) of the un-used second hole which would clear the capacitor. At that point- reassembly was required. the results were outstanding - CPU temp dropped 32 deg with Artic Silver 5. Over all - Would rate this as a Positive improvements @ $40 Bucks and 2 hours of time.

I already owned the monster CNPS-7700-CU for my Abit IC7-G. Yes, it does fit that MB. I was very happy with the Zalman and in particular the Fanmate2 that came with it. The FM2 is mounted outside the case so I turn it down in the winter and back up to the middle in summer. I never need to run it full blast. I cut a blow hole in the side of the case and mounted a 120MM filter on the case itself with a custom tube that just clears the top of 7700 fins. Works GREAT!Now, on this Zalman USA CNPS7000B-Cu CPU Fan. It will fit the AMD 462 ONLY if you have the mounting holes. I have an Abit KR7A raid (has the 4 holes) for this second computer and the stock HSF was a joke. Noisy and no cooling to boot. Did the same as in the above paragraph. Cut a hole in the side of the case (this time for an 80mm filter) and used a smaller tube that just clears the 7000B-CU. There is an exhaust fan right behind the CPU socket in the back of the case as well as the 120MM PSU fan so any heat from the 7000B-CU is expelled right away. Plus, with the blow hole idea, the Zalman gets cool air from outside, and the filter catches about 90% of the dust. I just vacuum the filter face once in a while. OEM HSF was about 35C at idle and 54C-60C with Prime95. Now, the 7000B-CU is about 28C idle and 47C Prime95. PLUS, much quieter. (note: the 92MM fan on the 7000B-CU is not as quiet as the 7700-CU) and to get the same air flow, the FM2 has to be turned up slightly higher.One caution. Amazon.com finally has the title of the 2 items listed correctly. The CU is the all copper model of course and the AL\CU is the lighter copper\aluminum model. Make sure you order the right one. Hint: the more expensive item is the all copper model and the cheaper item is the aluminum and copper model. Don't go by the description(s) or the pictures. Both items have the wrong descriptions and both have the AL\CU for their pictures. Very confusing. When I origionally ordered the 7000 series cooler, I called first because the description showed the cheaper model to be the 'all copper model.' That's what the rep said as well, 'all copper.' I received the AL\CU instead and had to send it back and reorder the correct one.No problem with the return and all is well now.With the free shipping (as of this post) Amazon is the best price on this product from a reliable online seller.A couple of thoughts, make sure your PSU is not too close to the edge of the MB. If it is, it may not fit. Plus, the all copper model is very heavy so get the AL\CU if you want to save on weight (about 2 degrees celcius difference I have read between the 2 models, CU is better)Hope this helps. Stay COOL with Zalman! (no, I'm not an employee)

About two months ago I purchased and installed this fan on one of my computers (with an ASUS A7V-133 motherboard) and it has worked great. Today I'll be ordering another cooler for a second PC that I have.The three things to be aware of are: (a) the motherboard must have 4 heatsink cooler holes for mounting the cooler, (b) this all copper cooler is heavy, and (c) you need adequate clearance. Checkout the Zalman website for additional details on these topics.

This cooler dropped CPU temps by 10 degrees at idle and under load, compared to the stock Intel unit. My idling temps dropped to 84F and at 70 percent load, have never gone over 114F. Load temps average around 111F. I'm running an Intel P4 socket 478 3.2 GHZ Northwood overclocked a modest 10 percent, to 3.55 GHZ with no increase in temps compared to running at 3.2 GHZ.This cooler is just what I needed for a computer running 12-18 hrs daily. It's strengths are the ability to conduct additional heat away quickly under load and to easily do the same for overclocking.Although nearly twice the weight of most CPU coolers, the additional weight didn't pose a problem for me. I'm running an Asus P4P800 Deluxe MB. Make sure your MB is securely supported before installing this massive cooler. Visit the Zalman website to make sure this model will work with your motherboard. As it turned out, I had plenty of room to spare for this beast, despite being about 1.5 times larger than the stock intel fan/cooler.I almost forgot to mention how quiet this unit runs! It's plugged directly to the motherboard, running at 2400 + RPM and the noise is barely detectable. The case fans and hard drive(s) noise easily mask the low noise levels of the Zalman fan.The only way to get better cooling is to go with the much more expensive copper pipe/fin types, or water cooling. For the money, it's a tough one to beat!

I just installed this cooler yesterday into my Antec Aria case. The Aria is a very small case and this heatsink fits in snugly. My case sits next to my monitor and i can honestly say that the fan runs as advertised. At the lowest fan speed (with the included fan speed controller) i cannot hear it. The Antec Cyclone blower in the back of my case seems to make the most noise now. The CPU temperature seems to have gone down too. With the old heatsink the temperature was around 42c but now its around 35c. Removal of my old heatsink and installation of the new Zalman into my Asrock K8NF4G-SATA2 motherboard required me to remove the motherboard from the case and remove some bits from the motherboard. Its not for inexperienced computer users so you might want your local shop to fit it. I created a page incase you have an Asrock K8NF4G-SATA2 motherboard and want to safely install this cooler on your own. Checkout: members.dodo.com.au/~robbiehook

I bought a computer from a local store about a year ago for use as a web and email server over my DSL line. This means it is running 24x7. The standard Intel P4 CPU fan sounded like a chainsaw. I don't have a huge house, but I could hear that fan from anywhere within it. After reading a few reviews, I decided on the Zalman CNPS7000-Cu. Here are a couple of notes:- First off, this guy is HEAVY (773 grams == 1.7 lbs).- Installation only took about 30 minutes (admittedly, about 10 of that was figuring out how to take the old fan off).- The instructions were simple and easy to follow, though I would certainly recommend cleaning the remainder of the gunk off of your CPU before installing the new fan. This only applies if you are replacing an existing fan, as I was.- In addition to being heavy, it's big. Zalman's website has guidelines for determining if it will fit in your case. DO THIS.After starting the computer up, I can hear a soft whirr while I'm at the desk working on it (and I suspect that may be the power supply fan). If I step to the door, about 8 feet away, I can't hear it. My computer is also running about 10 degrees F cooler than it was before, with RPMs in the 2500 range as opposed to 4600 with the old fan. Oh, and I'm running directly off of the motherboard, without using the included speed controller, so this guy isn't even running in "silent mode" which is allegedly about 5dB quieter.In the end, I HIGHLY recommend this fan to anyone wanting an inexpensive, yet effective way of quieting their environment. I will definitely be purchasing another of these for the HTPC I've been thinking about.Oh, and Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife, with whom I should be spending time and not fussing with computer fans!

Check your motherboard at the manufacturer web site. I'm sure this product is wonderful, but all I can do now is return it or use it for a paperweight. Neither of my 2 motherboards have the "cooler mounting holes around the CPU socket". (These are needed because, depending on the version, its either very heavy, or very very heavy). This is noted in the fine print on the back of the packaging, but I have to fault Amazon for not noting it in the product description. Even at that, the Zalman web site covers not even half the motherboards out there, which in turn may or may not have the special holes in them. If you are replacing an existing noisy fan you will have to completely remove your motherboard to get to its back side and mount things.

Tiene excelente proceso de instalacion, buen pulido del bloque, en velocidades bajas poco ruidoso. Fue comparado con el Thermalright XP-120 y las diferencias fueron minimas, ademas, de dar un buen aspecto con la iluminacion azul. Las pruebas sometidas fueron realizadas con un Pentium 4 2.6C, se overclock a 2.900Mhz y con carga full la temperatura llegaba a 58centigrados., sin overclock, sin carga se mantiene en 42centigrados y con carga 52centigrados.

This is a great heat sink, super quiet. This is definately a recommended part for those looking to build a quiet PC. I personally prefer the AlCu over the full copper version. In all the reviews I've read, the AlCu version only runs a degree or two higher, yet weighs significantly less. This can definately be an issue during mounting, or if you move your computer frequently, as the extra weight may crack the motherboard (although it's unlikely if you take the proper precautions). Also, make sure there's plenty of space around the cpu slot, as it is rather large. Some reviews I've read actually suggest pushing capacitors out of the way to accomodate its "bulk". I didn't have to do that (seems dicey in any case), but it's something to keep in mind when putting your system together. All in all, a great product at a low price.

I have a P4 2.4 prescott cpu with the stock Intel fan, and it seriously used to wheeze like a cardiac wreck. It gave me headaches as a matter of fact. Well, this fan, combined with an ultra quiet case - (I highly recommend the Antec Sonata case), has solved all my headaches. The fan comes with an adjustable fan speed controller. When switched to silent mode, the fan is virtually quiet. The fan was somewhat of a headache to install because it is so big - I thought I was going to crush my CPU, but follow directions and it's a cinch. I highly recommend this fan. It was worth every penny. Silence is a bliss. No more fat heavy breathing computer for me! Get the antec sonata case with ti, and you'll hardly notice your computer is even on.
