We are delighted to announce that Zalman have produced a new flagship product - the CNPS9700-LED CPU cooler. To look at the cooler, you would think it is exactly the same as the hugely-successful CNPS9500-LED. But on closer inspection, you will soon notice that the cooler is about 20% bigger! Instead of using a 92mm fan like in the CNPS9500, the CNPS9700-LED has a huge 110mm fan!

The larger size of the cooler gives both an increase in airflow (due to the fan), and an increase in surface area (due to the fins). In combination, this gives unbeatable cooling performance. The cooler is multi-socket compatible, and comes not only with a Fanmate2 fan speed controller, but also Zalman’s well-respected premium heatsink compound, ZM-STG1.
