Is this compatible?

[Plumcuda1]

ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT says it works on a socket 775. Also states it works on core 2 duo but doesnt say anything about quad core ... So are all 775's the same ? will this work?

Thanks

Yes, it will work just fine.

EDIT: Might I add that that is an incredibly expensive cooler. A ThermalRight Ultima 90 would probably do much better than that for less money, and maybe even less weight.

Too late on the price ... it is here but thanks for the info.

 

[Plumcuda1]

Yeah ... I didnt pay $63 for mine .. the price was $45 when I got mine last week.

I have a CNPS9500 - it's a good cooler.

It will fit on the socket, and it should do a decent job of cooling a quad - although quads are very hot.

 

[Plumcuda1]

Well it should cool ok in my case. I bought an enermax uber chakra. That has alot of room and some big fans.

This cooler is absolute crap on a quadcore.

If you havent recieved the package, tell fed ex to send back to seller and request a refund.

DONT LOOK AT ZALMAN PERIOD.

The thermalright Ultra120, and the tuniq tower is what you want to look at if your overclocking a quad.

You'll be VERY VERY disapointed when you get that and drop it on a quad.

Not going to be over clocking anything.

Aigo tends to forget that. He's the "Dan Gurney, Mario Andretti" of water-cooled over-clocking.

. . . Even so, you might try dropping the multiplier, running a pair of DDR2-800 RAMs up as far as you can to spec with a 1:1 divider, and then tweaking the latencies down to the lowest stable settings. Some people do this so that their Q6600 (as an example) is running just a few hundred Mhz above its 2.4 Ghz (overall speed) spec. The temperatures you get that way might fall well within the capabilities of the Zalman.

There may be pros and cons on this matter -- for instance, I'm convinced you can't use INtel SpeedStep with other than the stock multiplier -- but I've tried it, and I know of several others who like the result.
