The Zalman CNPS 7000-Cu is a stylish HSF combination that lives up to its claims of providing you with good performance and low noise. It’s nice to have the option of dropping many Decibels of noise and not have to equate that to losing the same amount of cooling performance. While the Zalman CNPS 7000-Cu is not the top performing cooler I have used, it comes close and the reduction in noise pollution coming from my case makes this a cooler I plan to use for a long time.
