Zalman has enjoyed success from their very popular CNPS 9500 series of CPU coolers. Today we are looking at the third revision of this cooler. It all started out with the CNPS9500 LED, went Intel only with the CNPS9500 AT, and now is AMD only with the CNPS9500 AM2. Don’t be fooled by the "AM2" tag attached to the name. This cooler actually straps onto AM2, Socket 754, Socket 939 and Socket 940 without removing the motherboard. That should make installation a snap and bring ease of use down to where almost anyone could install this cooler. Let’s get started.
