About Zalman CNPS7000-Cu Pure Copper CPU Cooler for AMD XP Socket 462 & 754 and Intel Socket 478

Does this cooler support Opteron?

 

[JackBurton]

Yes.

I take that back. It should work fine with an Athlon 64 but I'm not sure about an Opteron.

 

[lookouthere]

does it support Xeon?
if not, what cooler support Xeon?
Does ECC mean registered Ram?

 

[MDE]

It will work on an Opteron, as Opteron and Athlon64 have the same retention mechanism. ECC means error correcting code, which is generally reserved for servers and high end workstations.

 

[lookouthere]

so ECC mean registered ram?

 

[rommelrommel]

There are not many Xeon coolers, mainly because of the lack of methods for overclocking a Xeon (yes, I know there are ways.)

ECC = registered I believe.

 

[MDE]

ECC doesn't mean registered. Most ECC RAM is registered anyways, so don't get hung up on it. It's probably better to Google your little quandry and save yourself the time and agony of figuring out which one of us is right .
