Pictures of upcoming Zalman CNPS-9700 (think CNPS-9500 with 110mm fan).

yeah nice educated response--- That thing's gonna break the mobo!

No company is going to put a heatsink on the market that will case your mobo to break........too funny!!

We've been over this and the fact is...they can't test every mobo in every case for many many months of use and gurantee beyond a doubt that it'll never break your mobo. There's a reason Intel tells you a spec for HSF max weight. Even with a backplate and a secure screwdown system it is possible to damage the mobo after a long time of stress.

proof? no proof available...
when was the last time you heard somedody post that their heatsink messed up there mobo.....

You show me proof.....thats even better...

Again i state there is noway a heatsink manufacturer is going to market a heatsink that will cause a mobo to have issues...just noway....

There is no profit in making a quick buck at the consumers expense....

but we can agreee to disagree...

Again who says it'll happen in a week? a month? a year? IT CAN happen otherwise Intel would just tell you it doesn't matter. It could be over 5 years before there are any effects. You have never shown proof of a manufacturer doing extensive stress testing. Also there are warnings with many of these HSFs to be careful when moving your system with the HSF attached.

God ....what is this coming too.....
Sure i suppose anything can happen given enough time.....
Herll you could evolve into a 20 ft tall homo sapein.....

But no!! Its not likely to happen...

almost all instances on heatsinks messing up have to do with mounting brackets and user error in installing them...such as taking short cuts....sheese......

Hell.......NewEgg could be over run by aliens......
cars could start using pinto beans for fuel instead of gasoline.....
we all could start to live under water....lolol......

Given enough time Aliens could land on earth...lololol.....

i can't even imagine what goes on in your head. scary.

read the thread.....

define stress.....define long time...most mobo`s wer not designed to be used for 10 years...

No heatsink on the market will cause a mobo faluire......that would be irresponsible of mobo manufacturers to allow that to happen just for a quick buck....


sure in time....5, 10, 15 years...get real..

its just not going to happen...


Now say something intelligent after you read the thread...

its sheer stoopidity for people to believe that any of the highend heatsinks of today are designed to cause a mobo failure.........

i wasn't talking about the motherboard breaking, i was referring to the aliens and pinto beans and all that other stuff. i would have to say this tho, i put a zalman 9500 on a gigabyte ds3 and it sags a little. i'm not really worried, but it did cause me to take notice. i've read that this board doesn't seem to be as stiff (thick?) as other c2d boards, so that could be it. it's attached correctly, it's just a heavy sucker.

 

[SparkyJJO]

I'm not worried about the 9700 breaking anything. Heck if the infinity can be mounted and not break anything this surely can, it weighs about 200 grams less after all

 

[wwswimming]

maybe the 9700 will meet the specs they claim for the 9500.

still a good design.

don't stick your finger in that thing !

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Innovation??? What's that???

The only stupidity here is you. I suppose you think that every aftermarket part for every enthusiast (the auto, motorcycle, boating, firearm, computer, home entertainment etc) industry will never ever in any way shape or form cause any undesired results because the manufacturer gurantees that no matter what you do, and no matter how long you use it, nothing will break.

 

[Agent11]

Try shipping a computer with an 800 gram hsf on it, see what happens.

It is sheer stoopidity to NOT buy a heatsink becuase you are worried about something that might happen 4years from now...when you should have upgradd and moved on to a new mother baord!!!

All in all if you were to buy a brand X heatsink and install it. say 2 minths from now the mobo broke and not the bracket holding it...i dare say that company would be on ther way out of buisness very quickly if that happenned!

As I stated earlier....shizza does happen with heatsinks. 9 times out of 10 its on the user end....
Not tightening the mounting bracket...
Not tightening the heatsink properly to the mounting bracket....
Taking short cuts and not following directions exactly as goven....

Now if I am wrong in what I have just said...please direct me to a link or post from another forum where it has ben proven I am wrong?

You may use the argument that you cannot move your computer if you have a heavy heatsink on it...
Well last time I took my computer up North with me I braced the heatsink before moving it.
I also have been known to take the heatsink off while in transit.

You have to use what I like to call NOT to common sense when moving any computer......

cmdrdredd - I love you too!!

 

[Trikat]

Hmmm that link midway in this thread shows something about super thermal grease. Heh.
Anyways many people use a Big Typhoon and that thing weighs more than this 9700. Doubtful it would snap newer mobos due to weight.

 

[soydios]

Yeesh, and I thought the CNPS7700 was a monster.
It should cool better than the CNPS9500, bigger fan and 50%ish more surface area (CNPS9500: 3700cm2, CNPS9700: 5500cm2).
It shouldn't break your motherboard. The 950g CNPS7700 mounts just fine to any motherboard...as long as you don't move the computer.
