Good Points
VERY QUIET! Excellent build quality and engineering, keeps CPU sufficiently cool, even on my gaming machine.
Bad Points
Adjustable fan speed unit could be better or have a front mountable knob. A bit pricey.
General Comments
I installed this Zalman CNPS6000 - Cu Flower Cooler on my Athlon 1333 machine and have had no problems at all with processor temperatures, in fact, the full-load (playing games etc) temperature has actually fallen by 5 degrees C. I adjusted the cooling fan that comes with the unit to its slowest setting and the maximum temperature I get is 59 degrees. The Kit contains all the parts required to easily fit the unit including some longer screws to mount the separately placed fan. All in all a very nice kit, although it is a little pricey, the build quality and inclusion of all the bits you need easily justify the expense. Buy one and enjoy your pc in silence.
