Video Review #1047:
Zalman CNPS9900 LED CPU Cooler |
| 00:00:15 |
00:00:17 |
Hello again, I'm Rodney Reynolds
and welcome to another video review. |
| 00:00:18 |
00:00:23 |
Today I'm looking at the Zalman
CNPS9900 LED CPU Cooler. |
| 00:00:23 |
00:00:27 |
What's included is the user's manual,
all the materials needed for installation |
| 00:00:27 |
00:00:31 |
on AMD and Intel motherboards,
including thermal compound, |
| 00:00:32 |
00:00:34 |
a case badge,
and the cooler. |
| 00:00:34 |
00:00:37 |
Here's the Intel socket 1366
retention brackets, |
| 00:00:38 |
00:00:41 |
the Intel LGA 775
retention brackets, |
| 00:00:42 |
00:00:45 |
and the back plate,
as well as the AMD clip. |
| 00:00:46 |
00:00:52 |
This cooler is fairly large,
measuring 94 x 140 x 158.5mm, |
| 00:00:52 |
00:00:54 |
and weighs 782g. |
| 00:00:55 |
00:00:57 |
So when transporting the case,
be careful, otherwise, |
| 00:00:58 |
00:01:01 |
it might damage the
motherboard, and/or the CPU. |
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:02 |
When the cooler is shipped, |
| 00:01:02 |
00:01:05 |
it comes with a plastic band
all around it. |
| 00:01:05 |
00:01:07 |
The purpose of this band
is to protect the cooler |
| 00:01:08 |
00:01:09 |
during transport. |
| 00:01:09 |
00:01:12 |
So, it should be removed,
before installing the cooler. |
| 00:01:13 |
00:01:16 |
To do so, there are just
two screws, at the bottom |
| 00:01:16 |
00:01:19 |
one here, and one
on the other side. |
| 00:01:20 |
00:01:23 |
Now just hinge it up,
and take it off. |
| 00:01:24 |
00:01:28 |
The heat sink is 100% copper,
with a dual heat sink tunnel design |
| 00:01:28 |
00:01:32 |
which comes with
268 copper fins. |
| 00:01:33 |
00:01:36 |
These fins are connected to
large heat pipes, |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:38 |
which connect to
the base. |
| 00:01:39 |
00:01:41 |
This solid copper base
is extremely smooth |
| 00:01:41 |
00:01:45 |
and will allow excellent contact
between it and the CPU. |
| 00:01:45 |
00:01:50 |
A quiet blue 120mm fan
is located in the middle, |
| 00:01:50 |
00:01:54 |
and it comes with a
four pin power connection. |
| 00:01:54 |
00:01:59 |
Now have a listen to the
120mm fan at full speed. |
| 00:02:09 |
00:02:12 |
Zalman includes installation videos
for all their coolers, |
| 00:02:12 |
00:02:14 |
and this is something I'd like
to see more companies do, |
| 00:02:15 |
00:02:16 |
because it really
takes the guess work |
| 00:02:17 |
00:02:18 |
out of the
installlation process. |
