Zalman CNPS9900-NT Closing In
Having released the 120 mm copper monstrosity, the CNPS9900, Zalman is looking to give the NVIDIA-branded CNPS9700-NT an update, only this time, there's no NVIDIA branding to be seen. The CNPS9900-NT is decked with nickel-plated copper, which gives it the chrome appearance. Between the two copper-fin blocks, is nested a 120 mm green LED lit fan, which gives the same illumination as the older NT versions of Zalman's coolers. It measures 94 x 131 x 152 mm (LxWxH), and weighs in at 730 g. The fan spins at speeds between 1000 and 2000 rpm. The cooler supports all current CPU socket types, including LGA-1366, LGA-1156, LGA-775, and AM3/AM2(+). It packs a tube of the company's ZM-STG2 thermal compound. When released in Europe, it is expected to sell for 70 EUR.

.......
Look realy good, too bad i have aftermarket cooler already.
Thanks though, good to know.
All this and no slashed fingers!:)
I would recommend this to anyone for an air cooled system.
hmmm, 70euros......
Only question now is - what's the next one going to be called. Although, two numbers up in 3 years.. I think they have some time to decide.
Saddest thing is.. these used to be the flag-ship coolers on the market. They are completely pwned by Thermalright.
It's because now Zalman is not/no longer wants to be competing in the high-end tier. This cooler is budget oriented.
And if for some reason the price is not right.. then maybe Zalman went crazy. I won't blame them.. Zalman used to be the name for the best coolers back when I was starting out. It's sad.
OFF TOPIC: And for the love of God, get that ridiculous statement out of your sig. TJ is as respected a member of the Atheist community as any good man, but he's got iron in his heart, and I love Nickelback. Don't get me wrong. I talked to him.. he's a nice guy.
I don't really get it either. Their two first albums were ok at the time. They were a bit rough, and I for one believed they would evolve to a good band, but they stayed exactly the same. I have no idea how many albums they've released, but sometimes I hear something new on the radio and it sounds exactly like everything else they've done.
Also, I think the Nickelback-hate grew into a meme.
no
they try to do thigns pretty with great build quality, shame the performance is lacking,

If anything, this should perform the same.
