Hey Guys
Recently I managed to get a hold of a 15 year old Zalman CNPS 9900 LED CPU Cooler that I thought was so cool (and still do to this day) and am going to try install it to my PC
Why I think its cool:
-Its full copper! (nobody does this anymore)
-it has a really unique looping heatpipe design that looks really clean from above and is quite the manufacturing marvel
-the clear fan with blue LEDs make it look like some futuristic reactor when its running
-Zalman had smaller coolers which got nicknamed 'Flower' coolers, this one being their largest cooler of that time was dubbed the 'Super Flower'
Back when the cooler was new it supported Intel LGA775, 1366 and AMD 754, 939, 940, AM2/+ Sockets. Obviously these are ancient and I can't use those to mount it to my LGA 1700 PC (plus I didn't actually get any mounting hardware with the cooler anyway)
So after doing a little napkin math, my ultimate plan is to do some modifications so that it can work with Noctua's Secufirm 2+ system which should give it a long lasting life for future upgrades.
The kit in question is the Noctua NM-M1-MP78 which contains the most critical part - the NM-SFB4 78mm pitch bracket that's usually only provided with Noctua's coolers but is included by itself in this kit.
My system specs:

Noctua kit is on its way so wish me luck!
