| subject: | Re: [OS2HW] Anybody using this cooler? |
Hello I'm 90% certain that the model from the manufacturer that corresponds to that model number from newegg is this one http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=193&code= which is model CNPS9500AT The above link takes you to the page with exact specs includng size. BTW, while on the subject of coolers and incidentally newegg (whom I respect and deal with regularly on most items) you might also check out www.frozencpu.com which is a great company that specializes in handling PC accessories and as you might guess from the name they pay particular attention to cooling devices. They even carry sub components such as springs, screws, latches, etc from many brands of coolers. In addition to great stock in great hardware with excellent prices they are one of only a handful of similar companies who bothers to continue to carry the awesome Alpha Novatech line of coolers. Alpha has gotten extremely little press since way back in 95 or so when they were extremely instrumental in starting the cooling accessory boom when overclocking began to become mainstream, largely because of no-nonsense hi-tech design with a breaktrhough technology that allowed them to create hexagonal pins (considerably increasing both surface area and airflow disturbance resulting in fairly amazing coefficients of thermal resistance) in very tight arrays. I don't know why they have lost the focus of the press but it is extremely wort hwhile to check out their company, methods, and products which are no-frills, no-hype solid design resulting in very low thermal resistance which is the bottom line. One of the obvious advantages to such good design based strictly on performance instead of bling-bling is small size relative to performance.. I have no affilation other than being a very satisfied customer, having bought nearly a dozen units of 3 differrent models (I build systems as a hobby) while being a little confused as to why they rarely get featured/tested in magazines even though they are fairly often included in so-called "shootouts" at Toms Hardware and AnandTech where they routinely sweep up... maybe it's the no frills no bling approach. AFAIK the only spec that matters in the slightest, given it fits in the environment, is thermal resistance. I have seen some companies try to blur this spec by reporting it in somewhat non-standard units, but once seen apples-to-apples this is all that counts despite the appearance of being hi-tech through such dubious techniques like heat pipes and state-change (at least as is used in small heat sinks) and peltiers. I prefer the old KISS method if the truly important specs support it. Hope this helps in any way Jimmy -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: inkleput{at}isp.com > http://users.isp.com/lifedata/Zalman35-118-003-04.JPG > > If so, how big is the base?
