Zalman CNPS7700-AlCu Ultra Silent CPU Cooler Review

Zalman coolers have a reputation for being great coolers for those looking for peace and quiet, but not those looking for high performance and overclocking. Unfortunately, the CNPS7700 only adds to that reputation. It performs well against Intel’s stock cooler, but that is not really saying much. Because of the enormous size, compatibility issues may arise with certain motherboards. On the plus side, the cooler puts out very low noises. In addition, it cools everything around it (albeit slightly). Again, the Zalman CNPS7700-AlCu is a great choice for those looking to quietly cool their CPU and everything around it, not for superb performance.

Pros:
Quiet operation in all speed modes
Cools surrounding components
Excellent lap job
Cons:
Strict compatibility guidelines
Good cooling performance, not superb
Esthetics: Very Good
Performance: Good
Compatibility: Good
Packaging: Very Good
Price: Good
Overall: Very Good
