Test System~
Conclusion~
What a thing of beauty! Nice to look at if anything else, but also a great CPU cooling solution. Provides better cooling than a stock HSF with a lot less noise and allows the user to adjust the speed to noise ratio when needed (Best of both worlds!). Provides a great alternative to the user who wants to attain a noiseless computer coupled with other “noiseless components” (video card with heat sinks only, hard drive enclosures, etc.) Ample extras in the box! (Fan Mate 1, extra parts, thermal grease. Whopping 92mm fan! Both the CPU and the motherboard chipset are cooled. Manual is thorough. Website is great and offers a flash demo install. Bad things are it might not fit in your case/mobo combo due to the size of the Flower Heat sink design but I doubt it due to the ample space around the Ziff socket in P4 Configurations. Computer cases that have the power supply covering the CPU cannot be used with the Zalman - CNPS6500A-AICu Socket 423 & 478 Intel Pentium 4 Processor HeatsinkFan (HSF). Suspended Fan bracket moves while in transit(Should be removed).
