Zalman CNPS9500-AT Intel Aero Flower Cooler, LGA775 and LGA1156

Zalman have announced the release of the CNPS9500-AT Aero Flower Cooler. The CNPS9500-AT is virtually the same as the LED version. The main difference is that the AT version is only compatible with Pentium LAG775 and LGA1156 systems. Another difference is the fact the AT is supplied with a PWM fan. A PWM fan is designed to increase and decrease its RPM depending on the temperature of the CPU and BIOS settings.

Just like the LED version the AT version is an exceptional cooler. The primary innovation lies in the patented ‘figure of 8’ shape bending of the heatpipes. This produces the effect of up to six heatpipes when in actual fact there are only three. The excellent cooling performance and efficiency of the CNPS9500-AT is achieved by the aerodynamically designed ultra-slim heatsink fins and their performance optimised layout. This layout reduces airflow resistance and minimises the weight of the cooler.

Ultimate Performance: Triple Figure-8 shaped heatpipes offer twice the cooling of conventional heatpipe design.

Minimised Weight: Aerodynamically designed ultra-slim 0.2 mm fins for minimised weight and reduced airflow resistance.

CPU Compatibility: Compatible with Pentium (LGA775 and LGA1156) only

Ultra Quiet Operation: World-famous ultra-quiet fan operation - virtually inaudible with figures as low as 18 dB.

Compatibility Issues

The Zalman CNPS9500-AT is compatible with LGA775 and LGA1156 motherboards out of the box. A list of compatible LGA775 motherboards can be viewed here.

PLEASE NOTE: LGA1366 compatibility is only possible when used in conjunction with the ZM-CS4A, available separately.
