A few weeks back I requested the Zalman CPNS9500 AT cooler and Zalman responded by shipping out the very product I requested. Unfortunately, I was stupid, well maybe not stupid, but I had assumed that this cooler was an updated version of the CNPS9500 LED unit. I never read to see it’s socket compatibility. This cooler is designed for LGA775 platforms only, and we traditionally run AMD Socket 939 hardware. I didn’t want to look like a fool to Zalman and give them a call and say, "Sorry, I didn’t even read your website to see if I could use this cooler." So the quest was on to build a new test rig that doesn’t suck for around $250CDN. Thankfully, Intel has recently released its Dual Core Pentium 805 processor. This is a dual core 2.66GHz 2x1MB L2 processor that shows some real overclocking potential and should be able to generate enough heat to test out HSF’s pretty well.
