How does it compare to Zalman (CNPS7000A-AlCu)? Are there any reviews that compare the two?

I bought this HSF for my 400SC last time it was offered at SVC for around this price... To make it fit, I had to remove the green shourd (of course). Without the fan on it, the HS performed slightly better than the stock HSF (especially under load), but this was before the silver paste had a chance to "settle"... I've since been running it with the fan on, and have idle temps about 3 or 4 degrees C above ambient and load is about 8 degrees C higher. All in all, a much better sink than the stock HSF in my 400SC (which hit over 70 deg C under load more than once...)

EDIT: Oh yeah, I think there was an issue with mounting the HSF to the Dell MB. I ended up buying some longer screws because the ones that shipped with it were too short... I think I even opted to not use their MB backing plate and just screwed the HSF into the case through the MB.

XP90 is quite light compared to my Zalman 7000cu and old SP-94 copper heatsinks.

I can't believe you bought a HS for a Dell...

Hey nice, I was the OP on the last time it was on sale, and you were asking whether it would work. Glad it did.

Hyper6 is 138 grams heavier than the all-copper XP-90, and it's well over twice as heavy as the original XP-90. Over a pound heavier, to be exact.

Worked on a K8N NEO2 where X-120 would not.

Kind of noisy with the fan on high. When it gets to 85 in the room with this computer, it will not sustain an overclock. 3200 winchester.
Edited for: Never bothered with the Hyper 6 backing plate...used the MSI.
Very tight fit in an Antec SLK2650-BQE (Mere humans should not try this combo.)
