Customer Reviews

The best cooler.
Best fan CPU cooler on earth, my X2 AMD is running cool and happy. Also, you can't get quieter than this unless you go for passive or water cooling. It may appear expensive but it's worth it.

Bigger is deifnitely better -
The first thing you'll notice is that it is big. In fact, I was afraid there would be issues with case crowding or interference with other components.

I installed this cooler on an Asus M32N SLI WiFi (Nvidia 590) motherboard with a newly added Phenom 9850. I opted to replace the Cooler Master (that also worked well) on my old X2 5200+ chip since it was already 2+ years old. It also let me evaluate the Zalman.

I had two concerns when I opened the box: clearance for my newly added Corsair Dominator (1066) RAM that has a very high profile due and the weight. To my great relief, it fits perfectly. The jury is still out on the weight and I presently have my tower case laying horizontal until I work up the nerve to stand it up. The installation bar is sturdy but I will reiterate: the unit is heavy and without question I will remove it before moving the system any large distance.

Finally, I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The stock Black Box AMD heat sink / fan is so loud it makes my office sound like an airport (that has been my experience with all AMD stock fans). The system with AMD stock fan with no over-clocking caused CPU temperatures in the 59 to 61 Celsius range. The new Z9500 AM2 dropped the temperature 10%: my system is running at 55 degrees with the fan speed set in the middle range. Nice.

There are less expensive options, for example CoolerMaster products that I know work great with very low fan noise. But given the temperature drop and silent fan options, you can't go wrong with the Zalman 9500 AM2.

Very efficient
Well this is quite a cpu cooler I must say. It has my Amd Athlon X2 6000+ at about 35 degrees Celsius on full load, which is what my liquid cooling had it at before I threw that out.Make sure that you have enough space in your computer case before you buy this monster though. You can't tell on the page, but this thing is an enormous hunk of metal!
