Zalman. You know them, you love them... or you at least know OF them. They have been putting out quality PC cooling gear for over 6 years now and show no signs of letting up. I, for one, am very happy about that. Today we are reviewing another well known product from Zalman. The CNPS9500 series of coolers are known for excellent cooling performance but the last socket to be graced with it's presence was the AMD AM2 socket. The Zalman CNLS9500 AM2 CPU Cooler is now ready to cater to this socket format. To help show the AMD love the cooler comes equipped with green LEDs vs the usual blue or red LEDs that most of Zalman's coolers come stock with.

The last time we took a look at a cooler from Zalman it was way back in July! So it has been a while since we have seen Zalman's offerings. Today we will be taking a look at the CNPS9500 AM2 CPU Cooler which is compatible with AM2/754/939/940 AMD processors and features a pure copper heatsink and innovative curved heatpipe design for a heat transfer capacity of up to six heatpipes with the use of just three. Let's take a look and see how it compared to the other AM2 CPU coolers we have tested.

With ever increasing heat output from CPUs as a result of the move towards more cores and more overclocking, heatsink manufacturers are scrambling to find ways to dissipate all the heat without making monstrous contraptions. Zalman's efforts have produced a rather elegant looking heatsink. Let's hope its performance can match the looks.

The CNPS9500 is another great product in a long line from Zalman. This cooler is definitely in the top three or four cooler that was released this year. The only other option better than this or any other cooler in this category would be to jump on the water-cooling wagon. The true definition of Zalman quality is right here. If you are willing to spend the few extra bucks, you won't be disappointed...

If you have been looking for a new CPU cooler that not only does it's job well, but looks great in the process, then the 9500 may be exactly what you need. Made of pure copper, the 9500 utilizes 3 heatpipes which effectively does the work of 6! Let's see how it compares to other heatsinks we have tested...

When it comes to PC cooling Zalman has a great name. Being one of the first who introduced heatpipes into VGA cooling, it was an immediate hit. But when the competition started using this same technology for CPU heatsinks, Zalman's own CPU coolers were falling behind. Now, a bit late perhaps, we have Zalman's first heatpipe based CPU cooler. The Zalman CNPS9500 Led. Let's see how it does against the best out there; the Scythe Shogun and Thermalright XP-90C are waiting...

As formidable as the CNPS7700 is, it is unfortunately incompatible with many motherboards because of it's huge size. The damn thing 5.35 inches across so if it doesn't cover your memory, it probably will rub up against your video card. The smart guys at Zalman knew they couldn't increase performance by making their heatsinks any bigger, so they stood the fan up on end and added 3 heatpipes to the mix. Then, for some style added a couple Blue LED's as well. The innovative design they came up with is what we know as the CNPS9500 LED CPU Cooler...

The Zalman CNPS9500 LED is a very good low noise heatsink for any AMD Athlon64 (socket 754/939/940) processor. The heatsink is foremost quiet, and offers among the best balance of noise and thermal levels that we've seen to date. There are cooler heatsinks which are much louder, a very few heatsinks which are much quieter, but no heatsinks which are quieter and cooler...
