Came into this review expecting the CNPS7500-CU to differentiate itself from its small form factor brother; the CNPS8700 LED. What I found was a heatsink that is a good deal heavier that performs almost identical to the CNPS8700 LED. Keep in mind, this is not really a bad thing as it does not disappoint, it does a solid job at a near quiet noise levels. Installation was a bit easier than its HTPC equivalent and you can save a little bit of money with the CNPS7500-CU if you don't have any space restrictions.

Heatsinks have been around since the inception of the CPU, and manufacturers have feverishly been trying to develop creative ways to cool the latest and greatest processors that produce an abundant amount of heat. We've seen every type of fin array imaginable, but Zalman's flower style design seems to stand out from the rest. Not only were they one of the first to use copper fins on their heatsinks, but they were also one of the first to experiment with different fin array configurations to enhance their heatsinks' performance. Today, we have Zalman's CNPS7500-CU LED CPU cooler on our test bench. This massive 848 gram beast has a low profile design and a flare for craftsmanship that many enthusiasts have come to expect from Zalman.

The CNPS8700 LED, which was introduced at CeBIT 2007 in Hanover, Germany, is an all copper heatpipe and heatsink CPU cooler with a lower profile and larger, 110 mm fan as compared to the CNPS7000. The CNPS7500-Cu offers improved performance over the CNPS7700. It is also made of 100% copper and has an 110 mm silent fan just like the CNPS8700. Both coolers sport the Flower Heatsink Design, which is comprised of a plethora of copper fins atop a copper base, with a clear fan with LED lights set in the center of the fins. The only major difference between the two is that the CNPS8700 LED also has heatpipes incorporated into the design. Which one cools better? Are they as quiet as Zalman claims? These thought-provoking questions are just what this review will attempt to answer.

The Zalman CNPS7500-Cu LED is a slightly more compact version of the CNPS7700-C LED heatsink - a massive cooler with a wingspan of nearly 140mm - and slightly lighter too. The heatsink is compatible with socket 478 & 775 Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad processors, and socket 754/939/940/AM2 AMD Athlon64 CPUs.
