zalman cnps 9500 vs thermalright ultra 120

~~hackerx~~ · Jul 29, 2006, 02:47 PM

Looking for a decent cooler for my pentium d 930.
Those are the options.But i have a couple of questions.The thermalright ultra beats out even the nautilus 500 in temps and noise.But its weighs nearly 750g.Thats like 450 above intels specified limits.
Will that be a problem for the motherboard over a long period of time?
And does anyone know how the cnps 9500 performs in comparison to the thermalright?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Regarding the weight, if ur PC is stationary it shouldnt have too big of an effect on the motherboard.

but if u go to LAN's and etc. often. I would invest in a lighter cooler.

its pretty much stationary.
But still,won't all that weight tugging at the motherboard have some sort of ad effect?
And i still want to know how the zalman performs in relation to the thermalright ultra 120.
So can someone give me a link(if it exists?)Please.
