Zalman CNPS9500-AM2

News Link with Review...
Read the review and it looks like a decent heatsink. Hopefully the aluminum construction will bring the price down to reasonable levels (less than $40). The green LED fan is also an interesting choice 8)

I thought so too, but check out this interesting quote:

• "The Zalman CNPS9500 AM2 is a full copper heatsink, except its surface has been brightly chrome plated to give it that nuclear winter, Terminator 2 android feel.

Wonder if they'll come out with a Predator version... :P

It's all good, we all get messed up once in a while, sometimes more than others.

I really like how this CNPS9500 looks but I don't like the price to performance ratio that comes with most of Zalmans coolers.

That is wicked looking, so it's Cu dipped in Al?

Scrape that nvidia sticker off and it will fit right in my Intel box :o

They don't dip it in Aluminum, chrome is it's own element. There are many different methods of chroming an object. Take a look here:
