Product Reviews
- “We’ve been using the CNPS9500 AM2 for the last couple of weeks, and there is very little negative to say about it. It looks good, performs very well and it is very silent. This is to me the holy trinity of qualities for a CPU cooler. That it is extremely easy to install certainly is another bonus.”
- “Whether it's extreme overclocked shenanigans or stock performance with massively reduced noise and operating temperatures, a decent heatsink such as this new Zalman model will utterly transform your prized proccie.”
- PC Format - “The clever design, which sucks air through a tunnel of heat-dissipating fins and over a series of figure-of-eight heat-pipes, really looks after your CPU. If you've got space in your case, you won't find a much better cooler on the market.”

Zalman CNPS9500-AM2 AMD Aero Flower Cooler, AM2/939/754
 | CNPS9500-AM2 AMD Aero Flower Cooler, AM2/939/754 [32 in stock] | €40,70 (€47,82 inc BTW) |
First there was the CNPS9500-LED and what success that has proved to be! Then the CNPS9500-AT for Intel only graced our shop. Now Zalman have introduced a new version of this excellent cooler, the CNPS9500-AM2. Performance-wise, this cooler works in exactly the same way as the CNPS9500-LED. It is supplied with a standard 3-pin fan cable and a FANMATE2 to allow you to control the fan speed.
The most striking difference between the other versions and this new AM2 cooler is the finish of the product. The CNPS9500-AM2 has been given a makeover. Instead of the plain copper look it has been nickel plated which gives it a more sophisticated look and feel. In addition, the opaque fan has a green LED, which is great if you like to show off your internal components.
Compatibility Issues
The reason Zalman have used the "AM2" suffix is because this CNPS95000 is compatible with AMD's new AM2 socket. As usual, Zalman have released a comprehensive list of compatible motherboards. Please follow these links depending on your motherboard socket type: Socket AM2 and Socket S754/939/940. If your motherboard is not shown on these pages then please measure your motherboard to ascertain compatibility. See Installation Requirements on this page for further help.
The new mounting clip has been designed to make it possible to install this cooler onto any AM2, 754, 939 or 940 motherboard without having to remove it from the chassis, which is not possible with the CNPS9500-LED version.
