You know Zalman has some kick ass cooling solutions and I would like quite a few of them, however I don't know if I can support a North korean based company! But I really want their items.

Huh?

Their SOUTH Korean address is:

1007 Daeryung Techno Town ?, 448 Gasan-dong, Gumchun-gu Seoul, Korea

As an American Poster, yes I have bought Zalman Stuff?. I purchased a southbridge heatsink. It was a PITA to install but seems to work well enough.

North Koreans don't even know what computers are.

Where do you think NORTHbridge coolers come from? They don't come from the south... :D

I've got a couple of their 80mm fans in a box somewhere. I bought it trying to rig together a cooler for my old Athlon t-bird system. I bought a nice all copper heatsink and a Zalman fan to mount on the heatsink. I messed it up somehow and killed my chip.

It was quieter for the hour or so it worked. Whatever cooler I had bought was jet-engine loud and I wanted to replace it. I don't miss the t-bird days one bit.

Bwahahaha. I bought a 9500 cooler awhile back. Seems to work well enough. I see the poster has disappeared. ;O

I feel their CPU coolers are decent, but not hte best.

I bought Thermalright for a CPU cooler for several reasons. While Zalman lets you control speeds of the fan, isnt the best control where you can buy your OWN fan and then hook it up to a fan controller? Then you can buy Panaflo, Yate loon, Nexus, anything.... The choice is yours.

I remember the 7000 and 7700 series. Huge fans, but 120mm would be better.

As for graphics cards, I bought the VF700. Definitely a good buy, although teh Vf900 would work even better for me now... oh well. I have a side fan blowing onto my 7800GT so all is good.

Op makes me laugh.

I've been to North Korea.

I've purchased two Zalman CPU coolers (7000AlCu and 9500Cu) and a GFX cooler (VF700Cu LED). My friends have purchased a total of two 7700s, an 8000, and I believe an 80 mm fan, on my recommendation. Zalman rocks!
