For instructions how to install the CNPS7000 series, Zalman have created this little animated Flash movie, pictures of what the real cooler looks like mounted on an ASUS P4G8X are found in our review of the CNPS7000-Cu.

How We Tested

Test Configuation

Test Methods

We used the Intel Granite Bay-based ASUS P4G8X with the Pentium4 3.06 GHz running at 3345 MHz at a core voltage of 1.7V. After booting into Windows XP, the system was allowed to reach its idle temperature at which point we started taking temperatures in MBM5 which was set to a 1 sec polling interval. In order to monitor the effects of brisk bursts of activity we loaded 3DMark2001SE without launching the benchmark, after which the system was allowed to return to idle temperatures, before the actual benchmark was launched. Immediately after 3DMark2001SE finished, we took the highest value displayed by MBM5, followed by readings 10 and 20 seconds after the end of 3DMArk2001SE.
