Of the companies I've taken a look at lately, many hold their claims to enthusiast fame because at some point they dared to be different. As cheesy as it may sound, Zalman tends to be one of those companies. Years back, when the first heatsinks in the CNPS - that's Computer Noise Prevention System series were released, they were a very rude awakening to a market filled with screaming fans a traditional fans, and a breath of fresh air. Indeed, the early "flower" sinks came out looking like nothing that had ever been released before. And truthfully, for users seeking a quiet computer, the prospect of a fanless heatsink which could adequately cool the day's processor was met with ecstatic enthusiasts. Though there was also the option to affix a fan via a bracket which screwed onto the PCI slots, that small addition was nowhere near the claim to fame.
