ZALMAN Computer Noise Prevention System with Ultra Slim Direct Touch Heatpipe Heatsink CPU Cooler CNPS8900 Extreme

It would have great but it wouldn't fit in my computer case. NOT AMAZON's fault I should have messured first.I had to send it back and AMAZON was great about it. Didn't Question the return and sent me a shipping label free.

This thing is good, its a little big for a mini ITX. may require you to trim the stupid heatsinks on larger ram, IE Gskill Ripjaws. I have an Asrock Mini-ITX Z97 ITX AC, and I had to rip a few of the fins off one ram module in order for this to clear it.as for cooling, it works great, and has plenty of fan speed, when on high this thing can really scream, its not overly loud, but its about as loud as an other high RPM fan.if you want cooling, good price, and don't have a ton of space, (ie ITX builds) this is perfect if you don't care about a bit of fan noise. its not the louded fan ever, but it can get loud to some people. I prefer cooling performance over everything else.

Fits nicely in an HTPC case or in cramped corners. Must be installed before motherboard is placed in the case. Running i7 3770 at 3.4 - 3.9 GHz, at full load only 30.4 C. Gave it 4 stars for some difficulty attaching to motherboard. The fins hang over the bolts that need to be tightened to the braces. Had to use a wrench attached to a phillips screw head to tighten, a screw driver won't fit. Too bad they don't use bolts with a hex wrench fitting. That would make it much easier.

Beautifull and no longer made and rated as the best cooler in the world for 59mm and under in height. Cools better than custom built double radiator water loop system. Full load prime 95 stress testing on overclock 3770k at 5.4 ghg and 1,7 volts ambient temp of 21c it got to max of 23c only a rise of 2 degrees celcius with fan at maximum.

Works Great keeps my overclocked AMD x6 processor cooler then the stock did, As long as you make sure you use a high grade thermal paste, because the bottom isn't completely smooth i found using 5 dots like on a dice when applying the thermal paste i got much better heat control then using the line or 1 peas size dot methods. When overclocked and running max usage for 20 mins i ran 15 to 20 degs. F cooler then stock. BE CAREFUL on installing don't tighten down all at once on ASUS boards just go 1/2 way at first. otherwise you could damage your MB with warping at its base. i left mine at 1/2 way down this time if it loosens up in the future ill just tighten them down a little more as needed.

Product works fine, but their don't expect them to give out any rebates for the product. I bought mine at Newegg with a rebate offer, but they rebate was denied.Those losers denied my rebate because of the "wrong" UPC even though I sent in the correct one and the one THEY CITED was actually the wrong one. The UPC they cited was for the CNPS8900 Quiet, while the product I made a claim for was for the CNPS8900 Extreme. Disgusting. Do not support such a snake company ever again.

This cooler is CNPS8900 Extreme and it does a very good job at cooling my cpu. My i5 760 idles at 35c and load at 65c in a 80f environment.Here are the cooler specs taken from the website.Dimensions*120(L) x 120(W) x 60(H)mm*Weight 400g*Materials Fins: Aluminum / Base: Copper*Dissipation Area 1,960'*Heatpipes 2*Fan 110mm PWM Fan*Fan Bearing 2-Ball Bearing*Fan RPM 1,250 ~ 2,800 rpm ± 10%*Noise 19.5 ~ 35 dBA ± 10%*Rated Voltage 12V--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My spectsCase: Thermaltake Armor A30 Micro-ATXCpu: I5 760 3.2ghzGraphics: 560 Gtx non tiPSU:Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus Series 500WRam:Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB PC3-12800 1600mHzMotherboard:Micro ATX Motherboard s MAXIMUS III GENE 1156/Intel P55/DDR3Note: When i made the review the item didn't had a picture so i uploaded one.

Used this on a 1045t OC to 3.4ghz (MB multiplier) it ran 15-20 degrees cooler than the stock cooler did at stock 2.7ghz clocking using prime 95.It was bigger then the stock cooler in a micro ATX system, but its profile seems to fit the surrounding components better.Very quiet for the size and speed.Much, much more simple then a water cooling system and a fraction price, great value for money.Back plate was a little pain to line up, but other then that it was smooth installing.This fit a tight case with no problems, great cooling - Idle 18-24C Prime 95 high 40's to low to mid 50's I would buy this again!
