| I'm Evil | Both the Zalman CNPS9700 and the ZeroTHERM Nirvana are very good coolers, and both will cool "about" the same. INTEL QX9650 ASUS P5E3 Premium 4GB DDR3-1600 Sapphire HD 3870X2 Danger Den Tower-26 (Custom W/C) 5 x Seagate 250GB HDD in RAID5 BFG ES 800W PSU |

| Either, both are great. Neither should interfere with the RAM either. |

| hmm just checked th eprice for both Zalman CNPS9700LED = $40.00 Zerotherm Nirvavan 120 = $76.00 Is the price difference worth buying Zerotherm ? I hope that the cooler will fit easily on the Gigabyte MOtherboard Motherboard CPU Type: AMD Athlon XP 1700, 1215 MHz (11 x 110) Motherboard Name: MSI KT4AV (MS-6712) (6 PCI, 1 AGP, 3 DIMM, Audio) Motherboard Chipset: VIA VT8377A Apollo KT400A System Memory: 1024 MB (PC2100 DDR SDRAM) BIOS Type: AMI (10/03/03) Display Video Adapter SAPPHIRE RADEON 9600 ATLANTIS - Secondary (Omega 3.8.413) (256 MB) |

| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal. | No, it's not worth paying almost double for the Nirvana. Price dictates your choice in this circumstance: Zalman FTW. |

| I'm Diggin it! | The 9700 will easily fit the motherboard. More of a concern is will your case be able to have the side panel put on with the 9700 in there? What case are you using? Q6600@ 3.2GHz w/ CNPS9700 | EVGA 780i | 2Gb Corsair DDR2-800 | EVGA GTX 280 1Gb Video | 1x WD 640Gb HDD, 2x Seagate 400Gb HDD, 1x250Gb WD | 2x Samsung SH-203B Opticals | Antec 900 | ABS/Tagan BZ700 700W PSU |
