Zalman CNPS9700 NT CPU Cooler Review
Conclusions
Contents
The cooling performance achieved by CNPS9700 NT was on the same level of the best coolers we tested with this methodology. It kept our CPU temperature in acceptable values even in the worst conditions. The noise level was reasonable, not inaudible but also not annoying. It is in the same price range of its competitors.
What is really unique about this cooler is its looks: it is very different from most coolers, with a nice and appealing looks. Into a case with a transparent side window it will surely catch the eye, avoiding the sameness of tower coolers. If silence is your priority there are better options, but if you are looking for a cooler that looks "cool", this model is one of the best chioces available.
CNPS9700 NT deserves the Hardware Secrets Golden Award seal.
