CNPS9700-LED CNPS9700-NT
We are delighted to announce that Zalman have produced a new flagship product - the CNPS9700 CPU cooler. To look at the cooler, you would think it is exactly the same as the hugely-successful CNPS9500. 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 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.
Product Differences
Apart from the obvious color difference between the LED and NT coolers the only real difference is how the fan is controlled. The LED is supplied with a standard 110mm 3-pin fan and a Fanmate2. The Fanmate is designed to allow the user to change the fan speed at will. The NT version is supplied with a 4-pin PWM fan that needs no manual intervention. The motherboard’s BIOS settings determine the fan speed which is based on the temperature of the CPU.

Compatibility
Both coolers are compatible with the same socket types. Intel’s socket LGA775, AMD’s AM2 and 939 are all supported.
