Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu Heatsink Fan Review

Price: $32 USD

Introduction
Today I am reviewing the Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu Heat Sink. I purchased this heat sink because a friend of mine, who is a Zalman "fanboy" thinks it's the hottest thing since the airplane. I must admit it's a nice looking heat sink/fan combo, the heat sink is made of pure Copper and Aluminum, fins and base. The fan is a 92mm clear fan with blue led's. I'll be testing this combo for total cooling and will be matching it against the stock AMD heat sink/fan and the Thermalright Xp90 with a Vantec Tornado TD9238H fan @ 2600 rpm, due to the Zalman fan having a 2600rpm max.

Closer Look

The packaging is clear to show you the product and all materials are inside.

Heat sink and Fan
