Basically the 9500; but chrome plated and support for all AMD platforms including AM2.

Well I guess I have to find another reason... getting harder each minute...

:Q

CNPS9500 with a 120mm fan?
I want one. But I really doubt that it would fit in your case the same way as the CNPS9500.
Maybe they would make something along the lines of a CNPS7700 (copper flower-type with 120mm fan) crossed with a VF900 (copper flower-type with heatpipes around the edges to move heat even faster away from the center to the outside of the fins).

Here are some pics of the Zalman CNPS9700.

Comparison shot of the 9700 with a 9500.

CNPS9700 mounted on a motherboard.

That's one big heatsink.

If the 9500 cost $69 on it's debut. I wonder how much the 9700 will cost? $85? $90?

 

[RallyMaster]

If it costs 85+ USD, I would go water.

Hopefully the 9700 dosn't cost any more then the 9500 did on it's arrival and the 9500 drops in price to make room for the 9700 on the top of the heap.

 

[scrawnypaleguy]

When they make a 9700 that's chromed like that, I will buy it. That is so sweet looking... but I"m not willing to give up my 120mm fan on my SI-120 yet.

[Ackmed]

nVidia green, and their logo on it? Sigh. I dont want any crappy LED fan in my case.

 

[JRich]

When's this supposed to come out?

Granted good cooling results but a little too loud for my tastes.
