Im interested in getting a ZALMAN CNPS7000A-Cu for my P4 and was woundering if it would fit on my MB (ASUS P4P800 E-Deluxe) and what you guys thought about it.

Thanks

Can you post a link to that heatsink please.

Okay, I've looked at that heatsink and have several concerns. First is that it resembles the old Thermaltake Orbs (which were some of the worse heatsinks ever made) and the fan is built into the body of the heatsink. If the fan should die, can you replace it easily or do you have to buy a whole new heatsink?

A review is at http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/zalmancnps700acu/ it's a round heatsink, and they don't perform well compared to traditional ones.

Edit: Here is the website: http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product/view.asp?idx=79&pr_name=CNPS , it appears not to be compatible ( http://www.zalmanusa.com/product/cooler/7000(AB)_478MBlist_eng.htm )

Yeah ive read good reviews about them being really good. The fan does come out and you can replace it. Im pretty sure it will work with my MB im gana email them to make sue. The only other one I was looking at was the Thermalight Heatsink w/92mm Tornado but the thing that shuns me away from that one is the fact that I have to take my computer apart and take the MB out of the case, and thats a pain in the a$$.

I like some of the Thermalright heatsinks, although they are expensive. The bottom link is the mobos its compatible with, and yours isn't on it, so I don't think it will be compatible.

Edit: Me not reading things propely again, that is a list of uncompatible mobos, sorry!

I have the all copper Zalman on my P4C800-deluxe and it works great. I just plugged it into the mobo so I don't have the box to adjust fan speed. It is very quiet and runs very cool even when rendering video. It is big and heavy though, when I got it I thought "Col. Mustard in the Library, with the Zalman heat sink".
