Product Description

Manufacturer Description

The 7000B has slightly improved upon the 7000A heatsink not only in performance, but in a 0.63-ounce weight reduction. The 7000B comes with the easy-to-use Fan Mate 2, and even includes a high strength fiberglass reinforced plastic Backplate for use with AMD Sempron/AMD64 motherboards. Does not generate noise or vibration in Silent Mode. Pure copper base materials ensure excellent heat dissipation. Intel Pentium 4 (Socket 478), AMD Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP (Socket 462), and Sempron/AMD64 (Socket 754/939/940) compatible design for broad compatibility. (To use this product on socket 775, ZM-CS1 must be purchased separately.) 92mm fan inside the FHS maximizes airflow and makes installation easier. Adjustable fan speed controller (Fan Mate 2) enables control of noise and fan performance.

Common Components: Heatsink Assembly (CNPS7000B-Cu), four Bolts, Thermal Grease, Fan Speed Controller (Fan Mate 2), Double-sided Tape (for installing Fan Mate 2), Cable for Fan Mate 2, User's Manual - in English and Korean.

This review is from: Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu Copper CPU Cooler (Socket 478, 462, 939, 940) (Personal Computers)

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.

This is a great cooler for the money. The cooler is not silent, even though that is the target market. It is quite once you throttle down the RPMs. If you want a really quite cooler, you have to shell out money for a higher-end Thermaltake cooler.

With the supplied FanMate2, I can get the RPMs down to 1400. The CNPS7000B is better than the "A" version because it has FanMate2, instead of FanMate1. FanMate2 has a much longer cable, allowing you to have the cable outside of the case. With FanMate1, you need to open the case to adjust the fan speed.
