zalman 9700 infos plz

[gundam789]

A quick question to anyone here using a zalman 9700 led.
atm im using a zalman 9500 , but wanted to upgrade to the 9700. My only concern is weight and if its worth the upgrade.
Im using it to cool off a intel e6600.
i could also buy a Scythe Infinity 5 but im scared of that big 960g monster=)
this are pretty much my only options at my local store=)
they also have this cooler wich is a bit expensive me thinks but could not find any reviews on it http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2353734&body=REVIEWS its called ultra chilltec

I find the 9700 to be a decent cooler, I own 2...Good cooler for 3.6G on a Quad...:up:

one more question i have to get some thermal compond. at this store they have the arctic silver 5 and also ARCTIC COOLING MX-2 THERMAL COMPOUND .
wich one of the 2 is better?

mx2 for defo and its cheaper too, but if you want the easiest applying youve ever experianced aswell as really good temps try zalman zmsg1 i use it and you basicly apply with a little brush its really easy.

i use to have the 9500 i recommend you get the thermalright 120 extreme you will notice huge temp difference

If I had a 9500 I wouldn't upgrade to what is essentially a bigger version of the same cooler. There are other coolers out there which do a great job for less money, but if you've got your heart set on the 9700 then that's fine. It's not significantly better than the 9500 but it can handle a dual core CPU without any trouble. :up:

9700 IS significantly better than 9500.
