Zalman ZM-WB3 GOLD Water Cooling CPU Block

The new ZM-WB3-Gold CPU water block from Zalman features a pure copper base which ensures excellent heat dissipation from the processor. The base has also been gold plated which eliminates the possibility of corrosion. It is compatible with Intel Pentium 4 (Socket 478, LGA775), AMD Athlon/Duron/Athlon XP (Socket A/462), and Athlon 64 (Socket 754/939/940). Intel Xeon CPUs are not supported. Several types of compression fittings are offered for use with water tubes of differing sizes (ODxID - 13x10mm, 13x9mm, 12x8mm, 11x8mm, 10x8mm).

The ZM-WB3 GOLD is an ideal choice for any water cooling system, whether it be Zalman’s own RESERATOR1-PLUS, or a system from another manufacturer. Either way, the cooling available to the processor will be second to none! Please note that if you are thinking of purchasing the Zalman RESERATOR1-PLUS, there is no need to buy a ZM-WB3 GOLD (unless you have a dual processor machine) because one is already included in the Reserator kit.

Compatibility Issues

Pentium 4 and Athlon 64 owners

The ZM-WB3 GOLD is compatible with all known Pentium 4(S478 and S775) Athlon 64 (S754, 940, 939) motherboards.

ZM-WB2 Athlon XP compatibility

Athlon XP owners

Compatible if there are no motherboard components higher than 15mm (usually capacitors) where the clip are to be located. If interference occurs, the excess portion of the clip that interferes can be cut off to make it compatible.

Compatible if there are four heatsink mounting holes around the socket. If your motherboard does not have these holes as shown then the ZM-WB3 GOLD is incompatible.
