Anyone looking for an air cooler should give Zalmans CNPS9900LED serious consideration. This air cooler delivers, with solid performance and good looks. Installation is easy and straightforward, even the packaging is easy to open. This cooler is one o...
Great looks, Excellent performance for an air cooler, Ease of installing (while the motherboard was out of the chassis)
Slightly inflated price tag
The performance of the CNPS9900LED CPU cooler is on par from what we expect from a great company like Zalman, from the perfectly polished CPU coolers base to the evenly spaced fins on the cooler itself. It is not just the performance of this CPU coole...
Dualheatsink design, 100% copper, Three copper heatpipes that act as a frame for the entire component, Low RPM fan extremely silent during operation, Easy installation
Average test results during idle, load testing
Although the Zalman CNPS9900 LED looks great and has the pedigree of a champion, I wasn’t too thrilled about its performance results during our idle and load testing. While the Vigor Monsoon III LT is no slouch when it comes to CPU cooling, we&rsquo...
Innovative design, 837 sq in of heat dissipation surface area, Massive copper cooler looks sharp, Fan is quiet except at the highest speeds, Effectively cools a heavily overclocked i7
Cooler is pretty heavy to be supported by only four screws, Will be a tight fit in any midtower, will likely not fit in some, Rather pricey
The 9900LED doesnt put out a lot of light, it has a low-level blue glow, just enough to highlight it in a windowed case. Though Ive been around PCs since their beginning, Ive only been building for just over seven years. But in that time, Ive see...
Excellent cooling performance, Quiet, Compliment to any windowed case, Lightweight for a big heatsink
Large
While it has been quite some time since Zalman has released a new high end air cooler, they have shown with the CNPS9900 LED that they have not rested on their earlier success. Its larger size allows for quiet operation and outstanding performance. Th...
Zalman has once again designed something nice, something unique and certainly something aesthetically pleasing. Overall cooling performance surely is good, however in the very high-end enthusiast overclocking segment the cooler seems to forfeit on its...
Abstract: Like most Zalman heatsinks, the CNPS9900 LED is pretty unique. It is based on a double fan design, but with its 120mm PWM fan floating between the two radial copper fins. ...
Excellent performance, Quiet with fan at 100%, Looks great, Easy installation, Supports both Intel and AMD, Support for Intels LGA 1366, Blue LEDs on fan, Full copper, Included bottle of thermal compound, Hot air exhausts out of the case, PWM fan
Very expensive!, Motherboard must be removed for installation, No fan controller
Zalman have done an amazing job with the CNPS9900 LED. It is a near perfect CPU cooler; performance is amazing, it is near silent, it looks great, it has a blue LED fan, its easy to install and has support for many sockets. The only problem with it is ...
Great cooling performance, Can still perform very well with fan turned down for low noise operation, Big, but not too big, LED lighting is subtle, Includes a bottle of Zalman's Super Thermal Grease, Hardware included for LGA 1366 processors
Installation could be easier:, A bit of a balancing act, Cooling fins obscure mounting screws, Potential for interference with motherboard components, Loud with fan at or near full speed, On your own for fan speed control
The performance of the Zalman CNPS9900 LED CPU cooler is definitely impressive. With that fan at full speed it was able to drop the test system's CPU temperature below the results achieved with a handful of other coolers. Unfortunately it was fairly l...
