then why did you post on this forum.
Check out the Zalman CNPS7000b-AlCu and CNPS7000B-Cu.
The all copper(CU) may perform slightly better but the fact that
it is nearly twice as heavy makes the ALCU a better choice.
If the ultimate in cooling is what you need then you should look
into water cooling but for HSF cooling these Zalman perform quite
well.

where can i find this at. and i was thinking about water cooling but to much money.
Im not ready for water cooling just yet, my Zalman CNPS7000b-alcu
keeps my AMD Athlon XP 3000+ cooled just fine so I have no info
to offer on water cooling. If you run stock you wont need it anyway.
You can find the Zalman Coolers at www.newegg.com.
Look under Heatsinks & Fans. Then search for Zalman.
The Atlon XP specs say that a 300g or 350g is the max HSF weight
to use so that is why I use the copper/aluminum at 458g over the
700+g all copper unit so be careful.

well one is it very easy to install and which one is better the CNPS7000b-alcu or the CNPS7000-bu
Dark_Sniper.
Like I said I think the 7000b-alcu is the best choice because
the all copper(CU) doesnt cool much more to warrant the extra
weight of the HSF-nearly double. I read atleast 6 reviews
from reputable sites that said the alcu(copper/aluminum)
is overall the better choice and after installing it I agree.
Follow the product link from newegg and make sure your
motherboard is supported. Zalman also has a brief movie
showing how to install the HSF. Watch it and decide if you
can install it. I found it to be very easy but you do have to
remove your motherboard out of the case but I needed to
do some cleaning so it didnt matter to me.
I liked it for its ease of installation, relative quiet, and cooling capabilities. Overall much better than the clip-type HSF which sometimes can lead to damaging the CPU or Mobo if you apply
too much force during installation.
