Retrospekt Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I would just go ahead and grab a big typhoon or a tuniq. They will give you better performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejamesvolta Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I second that. Look for another brand....the above mentioned is good, as well as thermalright and a couple other brands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoetuS Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 As an owner of a 9500 I will hop in and say, if you are looking for performance, get a BigTyphoon or Turniq Tower. The 9500 is a great heatsink, better than most, but it can't beat the BT or TT... If you are willing to sacrifice a few degrees C for a unique & groovy look then get the 9500... my 2 cents...

General Septem Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 The Tuniq is pretty much the best performing CPU air cooler on the market. The Zalmans are good if you want silence as that is what most Zalman owners claim is their best feature. Performance wise they don't do much better than even stock. Their VF900-CU (I think that's right) VGA cooler on the other hand is awesome, but only unfortunately if your card happens to be three years old, and if it is you're probably better off just getting an Evercool VC-RF.

ComicDom1 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Wow, I really beg the differ here. I am an owner of the Zalman 9500, Tuniq Tower, and former owner of the Zalman 9700. The Zalman 9500 that I currently use with AS5 properly applied is probably one of the best out there. In fact the websites that have done reviews on it will show charts compared to others on just how good it is. Then Tuniq Tower, is basically a newer released Air cooler, and it performs slightly better than the Zalman 9500. Problem with the Tuniq Tower is that the bottom of the copper that meets sits on the CPU was not finished well and really needs to be lapped for max cooling effect. The Zalman 9700 cools even better than the 9500 and is close to the Tuniq. I just did not like the fan protruding out of the front, and because of the larger diameter of the copper cooling fin shroud that surrounds the fan, the screws to mount it are at a more difficult place to reach. I have a large case and even with the board out of the case, the angle for the screw driver to the screw head is difficult. You almost need an offset screw driver. Tuniq on the other hand uses what I consider a thumbscrew design. It is easier to use and mount, but you must pull the board out to mount the back plate. A word of caution here!!!!! If you decide to use the Tuniq Tower on a motherboard, make sure you do not use the adhesive on the back plate to attach it to the back of the motherboard. If you do this, you will have a hard time removing the plate or you will have to sell your tower along with your board when you upgrade. The 120 and the big T are both good heat sinks and well, but the reviews will really show you what stands out. Another one to consider is the Ninja Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fariss Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I use the 9500 & I love it. If your case has a rear exhaust fan that aligns with the Zalman's fan then you will enjoy it even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
