Zalmans CNPS8000 is another low-profile cooler that can be fitted to socket AM2 or LGA775 motherboards using a backplate mounting. Although the cooler is very low, its shape makes it less likely than the other coolers in the group to obstruct comp...

Zalman has released many coolers over the years and weve reviewed a fair amount of them. There hasnt been a Zalman product weve despised yet, so they have a good track record over here. After the large success of their 9500 coolers, they released t...

The quest for better cooling never ends. Its like the age old battle between good and evil. Its like nVidia vs. ATi; AMD vs. Intel; BMW vs. Mercedes - its heat vs. performance. To throw a twist in this head-to-head, cooling performance is not en...
Quiet, Low Profile Cooler, Quad heatpipes, Looks very nice, Performs much better than stock cooler, Very quiet at low to mid-low fan speeds, Priced under $60CDN for a good quiet cooler.
FanMate 2 could be redesigned to fit into back PCI slot or front bay to make it look nicer, Base finish isnt very smooth.
Zalman has released yet another quiet cooler. This cooler differs from their other coolers as it is made to fit in smaller spaces than the CNPS9500 series or the CNPS7700 series. It has excellent performance thanks to the four heat pipes and 62 thin...

A 90mm fan spins quietly at the center of it all, and with Zalmans Fanmate 2 fan speed controller noise can be reduced even further for true silent cooling (as low as 36.4 dBA in our real world tests).

Zalman has broken with tradition and released a low profile heatsink that is not based on theirs classic "flower" clamped-fins design. Its the same height as the venerable CNPS7000, but it has heatpipes and it weighs 100 grams less. How does it perform?...

Zalman is a name we all know for those crazy heatsink designs. Well those designs may be crazy, but they work extremely well. The last time I took a look at a CPU cooler from Zalman was back in 2002 when I reviewed the CNPS6000-Cu. So I was excited whe...

Overall I am pleased with the Zalman CNPS8000. Although I had some troubles installing it, after that it was smooth sailing. The fan mate is great because it lets you easily select the fan speed. The double sided tape that is included allows you to pl...

While Intel and AMD are both working hard to reduce power consumption of their existing and upcoming processors, it would be unreasonable not to use the advances in heatsink design and heat-conductive materials that have been achieved in the research f...

I think that the market success of the new coolers Zalman CNPS8000 and Scythe Mine will entirely depend on their price. Zalman CNPS8000 started selling for around $55-$60, but this is still rather expensive for a cooler that does not impress with its p...

Hi-End coolers have always stood out among their cheaper brethren. It is often a huge radiator, a lot of heat pipes, and 120 mm fans. But there are coolers of a bit lower class which are not so big but carry more compact fans and of course are somehow...

The overall function of the performs rather well. The fan at low speed is nearly silent, and even at high speed in a running system it blends in with everything else. If you can look past the potential difficulty with installation on the AMD CPUs...
