zalman CNPS7000 with abit IC7

Wozzle · Jul 10, 2003

Just wondered if the zalman CNPS7000 will fit on a abit ic7 or there are some issues ? If someone already have such system I would like to hear som temperatures and how loud the cooler is.

Fits perfectly on my IS7-G. Similar layout to the IC7.

Go to the Zalman website they have a list of problematic boards. The IC7 is not there neither is the IS7 thats why I bought it. www.zalmanusa.com

I just installed one on mine and it is a fine cooler! no clearance issues at all. that thing is huge... almost as big (width-wise) as a Nextel cell I carry and it is a non-folding type cell! great temps with it as well... right around 44 to 45 at idle, mid 50's under load. as for loud, it is only something like 24 dB in full speed mode with a 92 MM fan and they send you a "Fan-Mate" speed control to slow it down if you so choose. I am running mine without the Fan-Mate and I do not hear it at all over the drives spinning and the case fans I have installed. the case fans are not screamers, just background noise...

very polished interface surface for the cpu also... *very* smooth.

fits fine on my ic7, excellent cooler too.

I have the CNPS7000-CU on the CPU, HP80A heatpipe on the video card and NB32J on the northbridge of my IC7-G and they all fit and perform perfectly. Zalman is at the top of their game right now.

Excellent cooler. It dropped my CPU temps about 12C and had the added bonus of dropping the PWM temps significantly.

I got the CuAl version, which is substantially lighter than the all-copper version. The all-copper version substantially exceeds Intel's maximum weight guideline for use on their plastic heatsink support frame. The one review I found that compared the two versions directly showed very little difference in cooling performance between the two.

Now, if they'd only provide screws that were a silly millimeter longer, the thing would be easier to install....

Tom Hi
This is quite interesting there seems to be 3 Zalman P4 HS and coolers to chose from

1) The vented 5700, this looks interesting, but seems a bit gimmicky!
2) The openbook effect type 6500 again this looks like a significant heatsink, but I'm not sure about the suspended fan!
3) The flower type 7000 which looks quite effective, but I can't gauge the size really.

My IC7G - 2.6G (C) running SETI hits 59 occasionally 60C with a stock cooler after a few minutes. How much difference will any of these Zalman cooler make? I'm taken with the 7000 if it can make a difference, what do you think?

Regards
Jerry

i have a p4 3GHz running 2x seti 55-60C depending on the ambient temp. Today was 28C ambient, the case was nearer 30 and the CPU was 58. With this HSF I can get a 3.75 oc with 1.7v. Stock cooler got to 3.4 but was over 70C at this speed. The Zalman was only 62C at 3.75GHz

Quiet too, I use Speed fan to automatically adjust the fan speed dependant on temp.

depending on which "stock cooler" you have... if you ended up with one of the older aluminum slugs then it will improve things quite a bit. if you got one of the newer Intel coolers with the copper insert on the bottom, then it may not be so dramatic.

here is a link to my Zalman Flower sitting on a wrist rest in front of a KB next to a Nextel cell phone for size comparison. It does fit the IC7 with no issues:

by the way, the cpu I am running it on is a 2.8c running at 244 FSB = 3392 at stock voltage if that give you any better feel for things...

TomG · Jul 11, 2003

dropped my PWM temps as well!

Geez Tom,

Maybe your 'puter is well taken care off, but now you need to address your cellular needs. The 80's are over, get a new phone.

uh, that is a work supplied phone. trust me, my personal phone is much nicer (and smaller) than that! We use that model because it supports Java apps AND is was a phased out model so it was cheap for the company to get 10,000 or more of them for field use.

Jerry Polyak · Jul 11, 2003

Damn!!! Reminds me of an old joke:

An Indian chief calls his tribe together and tells them he has bad news and good news. So they ask for the bad news first.

"Well", the chief says: "Our hunting efforts were unsuccessful this season and the land did not produce as well as we expected, so our food supply is at an all time low. We will have no choice, but to it shit to survive"

"What's the good news, then", asked the tribesmen.

The Chief replies: "A heard of buffalo has passed by during the night, so we will have plenty of shit to go around"

Now, if he'd used a current model phone, it might have gotten lost between the fins of that monster...

Tom,

Where did you get your CNPS7000-Cu ?

Sharka Corp. at www.sharkacorp.com. Not the speediest shippers that I have dealt with (processing time after order, I guess) but reasonable and no real complaints.

I use the cu and Al version on my IC7-G. I use the 60% setting in the bios. I have noted that if I use the supplies speed control set at max I get an additional 300 RPM drop in both Hi and Low speed. The cooler does not have any install problems. I like it because It is easy to remove with the MB in place. I get 39 to 44 for idle temps on a stock 2.8 and around 52 at full load. (hi fan set at 55 cut in so those temps are at low speed. I used another speed control to dial the NB fan down to the mid 3 thousands. As said above the cooler cools the entire area and my NB and PW stay very cool.

I am very pleased with the cooler.
