Zalman 8000A

:slobber:

What the hell is this? :toast:

Zalman, bekannt durch leise und zuverlässige CPU-Kühler, zeigt auf der CeBIT05 den Nachfolger der 7000er-Serie, den CNPS8000A. Dieser setzt fortan aber nicht mehr auf ein immer größer werdenden Lüfter, sondern sucht den Weg nach oben.

Der im CNPS8000A verbaute Lüfter findet erstmals in vertikaler statt horizontaler Ausrichtung Platz. Dazu ist er im Inneren des komplett runden Kühlgerippes verbaut. Zur besseren Vorstellung hat Zalman extra eine offene Version neben der Verkaufsvariante platziert. Wann und zu welchem Preis das Modell in den Handel kommt ist derzeit noch nicht bekannt.

fwiw

"Zalman, admits the CNPS8000A of the CeBIT05 by quiet and reliable CPU radiators, shows to the successor of the 7000er-Serie. This sets from now on however no more on a ever more largely becoming exhaust, but looks for the way upward. The exhaust blocked in the CNPS8000A finds for the first time in vertical instead of horizontal adjustment place. In addition it is blocked inside the completely round cooling framework. For better conception Zalman platziert specially an open version apart from the sales variant. When and at which price the model into the trade comes is at present not yet well-known."

i would have liked to have seen a centrifugal based fan in there instead of a normal fan. though it would have been similar to gigabyte's coolers, i think for that cooler style, a squirrel cage would be better.

though.. 14 heatpipes. this should be a pretty damn good cooler once someone takes out that puny fan and points a sunon at it :banana:

Wow, at least its not as big as the thermaltake monster. It probably cools better too.

Wow, that thing looks nasty awesome. I don't really like the top of it though, I like seeing fans when I look at my CPU cooler. Other then that, that thing must perform very good.

Ah, German ingenuity :) I'd like to test one of those.

looks really heavy, that might come into play as a problem

yeah looks pretty heavy and wow 14 heatpipes. Is it just me or why isnt the fan not positioned to blow onto the fins?
03-14-2005, 02:22 PM

I'm guessing that it doesn't have all its fins installed. Its to show where I fan is, thats what I'm thinking anyway

hmmmm.... I'm not quite sure WHAT to think of that!

I bet it'll be quite expensive, there is alot on material there.
That fan solution is crazy though.. I wonder how effective it really is?

Lots of surface area = good.
Good heat distribution = good
that fan? = bad.
I would prefer some sort of blower fan, sucking air in from the top/bottom and pushing out through all the fins.

How in the world do you et the fan INSIDE there???

looks like there's some sort of mounting bracket that attaches to the top and bottom of the heatsink.

agreed. like the gigabyte 3D coolers have.

Something similar to the shape of a vacuum cleaners beater brush should do it.

Yeah, a squirrel cage fan should do the job much better.

Intresting design. It's seems like a cheap cooler with so many heatpipes. wonder when will see any reviews of it. But I think i will go with the Vapochill mikro.

The vapochill is a worse choice than this. Go with a XP120 or Zalman 7700

Here it says that the vapochil will be about 7c degres colder than the 7700cu, so will this zalman be over 7c degres colder than the 7700?

The vapochill sems to be cheap too, have now a zalman 7000cu, if i sell it I can get the vapochill without any more money put in. The XP 120 doesn't fit in MSi neo2 and isn't cheap.

So, Asetek says it will be better. I'm sure they will tell you when their competitors products are better than theirs. They are concerned with your well being and not their financial security after all.

Based on their info the Zalman is only 1 degree cooler than the stock cooler from a P4. That is not even remotely true.

Didn't thought that was their numbers.:brick:,, wonder which side i awoke today. I think we will see when some reviews will be out how good they really are. i think the vapochil stil will be good for it's price at least.

agreed, especially for a vertical mobo

we'll soon need an engine puller to pull the hs out of a pc :)
I already see autozone selling engine pullers with adapters for hsfs :)

Anyone know how the all copper version of the thermalright XP-90 performs?
