Is the Zalman 7000 still the king?

A friend's asked me to rescue his PC-cum-aircraft-at-takeoff from an
oppressively noisy CPU heatsink. It's an old Athlon 1.0, I think.

Last time I was looking, about six months ago, the Zalman 7000 Cu or AlCu
were the pick of the bunch for cost-effective, high-performance, low-noise
cooling. Is this still the case?

How in the world can a HEATSINK be noisy?

Perhaps it is the fan attached to the heatsink?

Wow, that's kind of big or should I say wide. Either way, make sure you have
enough room around the socket for it to fit. From the looks of it, it wouldn't
fit in my KT7.

the zalman 7000 is still one of the best but the thermalright xp120 beats
them all.

Typically the term heatsink when used in reference to a cooling apparatus
used on a modern CPU is inclusive of both the heatsink and fan components,
which are often essentially one and the same tool, such as in the case of
the Zalman heatsink (aka heatsink and fan) listed by example.

Another example of the phenomenon of assumed or inferred knowledge would be
the supposition that by definition, anyone who is predisposed to pedantic
behaviour would likely frequently and correctly be described as a peasant.

Hope this example helps elicit more helpful advice in future.

Cheers.

Check out frostytech.com. Of course being fairly normal like most people,
they also call them "heatsinks" and understand the wider vernacular. They
probably dont know what they are talking about :)

On cooling or noise ?, or both ?

May help, Reviews of everything from Passive to Aircraft heatsink complete
with figures.

I use the Zalman CNPS6000-Cu on an XP2000 which is quieter than the Hard
Discs

Hope this helps
