wow this is a damn nice deal...i might speed up buying my system before this deal goes away. thanks op!!

 

[Avalon]

Nice deal indeed. Too bad it's not closer to $45 to compete with the Big Typhoon. Then again, this HSF does exhaust air to your rear exhaust.

what the hell ! :Q

$74.99 + shipping.

Always had good results with these guys, usually not the cheapest though.

that was fast

How does this compare to the Big Typhoon or the XP-120?

How is spending that much on a hunk of metal justifiable? :scratches head: If you go with stock cooling you can throw the extra 50 at a better cpu, video card, or anything that would tangibly improve your computer's performance. Or is looking at the shiny copper fan through your windowed case that is so attractive?

Ive seen claims that these cool better than an xp-120.

I've got the 7000cu and it lowers my temps drastically from the stock cooling giving me more room to overclock.

Generally, from the reviews that I've read, the order goes like this...

Big Typhoon > Zalman 9500 > XP-120 as far as performance goes.

FIRE IN THE HOLEE! GO GO GO! I jumped thx OP

 

[kamranziadar]

I would buy Big Typhoon instead who beats this HSF big time.

Although I have not used this Zalman 9550 it looks to me like it is the best thought-out design of them all.

My observations...
Big Typhoon - if it could be installed with all 6 heatpipes in use (as if used on a horizontal M/B installation) it would undoubtedly be the best. However, all of my installations have at least 3 of the pipes going downward. And, a heatpipe, in order to function, must be assisted by gravity.

XP-120 - Mounted on a vertical M/B installation (like the above mentioned Big Typhoon) is the equal to the Typhoon in cooling IMHO and superior in other aspects as the Typhoon hogs all the available space inside the case (unless you've got a monster).

Zalman 9550 - due to it's unique heatpipe configuration should function with all 6 heatpipes contributing to CPU heatloss regardless of horizontal or vertical orientation.

This is just my $.06 ($.02 per cooler).

I'm seeing this price too. Confirm dead deal? I'll be watching VERY closely!

 

[deepinya]

It was prolly that price during their x-hour which is every sunday night.

 

[mrrman]

thing looks huge

 

[cheap]

At 75 a pop might as well go all the way, through in another 100 or so and get water cooling solution instead of this. Should be quiet as hell and more efficient.
