Awhile back Zalman had a bigseller named CNPS 9500 LED, with the new heatsink design and extremely silent fan they were able to make a cpu cooler wanted by pretty much every computer user on the market. Today we have a new cooler named 9700 LED which is supposed to be a even better heatsink with Am2 and Core 2 Duo for example, they also provide their own thermal paste which is supposed to be very good according to them. We will test this vs the older 9500 LED and vs a Coolermaster heatsink to see how this new product can perform.
