Great find. And for the weight conscious, the Cu-Alu version is nearly half the weight of the Cu version.

Pretty good deal for the copper version, although I have the AlCu version sitting behind me.

This is a pretty good price and I have one from a couple of years ago. It works very well the only problem is that it is a bitch to clean. There if very little space between all those fins

Good deal with free shipping. Just note that this is the 7000 version, not the 7000A or 7000B. Amazon was had good prices on zalmans, seem to be out of stock.

Excellent deal. A year ago it wasn't hard to find it at 31-33 shipped which is when I bought one, but since then every online merchant raised the prices to 40-45. *sigh* Would have bought one if I really needed one...

How would this be for overclocking a 3000+ winchester to 2.6ghz or so? Would it keep it pretty cool or would i be better off with a thermal right xp90?

whats the difference between the A & B & none of the 7000 models?

I know there is 7000A, 7000B, 7000, 7700.. they all look the same... whats the difference..

Im looking for the best one that *FITS on an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Motherboard (the new 7700 cooler does not fit according to zalman's website)

thanks :D I bought the all copper Thermaltake K8 all copper heatsink but I loved my old zalman (on 2500+ barton cpu)

Joerg,
I'm speculating, but it should be fine with an AMD 3000+ winchester. I'm planning to do the same overclock and, from what I've read, the overclocked 3000 still runs --cooler-- than the stock FX-55. So I think this should be great. If I get it up and running soon enough, I'll post results here, but I'm also waiting for a MSI K8N-Neo4 board... :)

For the person / people above asking what the difference(s) are between the 7000A and B models are, straight from Zalman's website:

The 7000B has slightly improved upon the 7000A heatsink not only in performance, but in a 7g weight reduction. The 7000B comes with the easy-to-use Fan Mate 2, and even includes a high strength fiberglass reinforced plastic Backplate for use with AMD Sempron/AMD64 motherboards.

For AMD boards (don't know about Pentium) remember you have to take out the MB in order to attach this fan. Also remember that most AMD boards don't support this fan; the board needs 4 holes around the CPU.

Um, no, it just uses two holes on the AMD board. I have one installed right now.

Go to zalman to see which boards it works on.

Great coolers for the noise level. The weight reduction is almost worthless. 7g less and it now weighs in at 438g, not even 2%.

And make sure you have proper clearance between the Zalman and the PSU.

Apparently a new model is out (7700?) which is physically much larger than the 7000. I read a review on the former, which runs just a degree or two cooler, but also looks likely to block a whole bunch of stuff on a range of boards. Think of having a Cessna 150 prop inside your computer. All that said, the 7000 looks like a great value for the money. I bought one from this posting!

Bumping an old thread, anybody know what the difference between the CNPS7000 & CNPS7000B are?

NM, did my research on Zalman's website and found the minor differences.

Good luck getting the right item out of Amazon. I've ordered the CNPS7000B-Cu from them twice and they charge for the Cu and ship the CNPS7000B-AlCu. I'm sure they would fix their system in a hurry if they were shipping the Cu and charging for the AlCu. Lots of emails and returns and I'm still trying to get it right. It's not worth the hassle at this point - I'll put in the AlCu and always wish I had gotten the Cu. Makes me appreciate Newegg that much more.

The A and B series added compatibility with different boards. They also started including a Zalman backplate. The non A/B series doesn't include its own backplate. I had bought an Al-Cu off ZZF a couple months back that was the normal model, and it was a pain waiting for my backplate to come by mail so I could install the HSF onto my darn DFI mobo :)
