Re: Trying to silence my spare media center PC
I have that Zalman in my last system that I ran for many years(and is still running for my son). It is an interesting heat sink. If you are one who panics when things get even slightly warm, it isn't for you. But I've never had a CPU go bad, but I always run at/near stock speeds and voltages.
You need to check your motherboard and power supply for clearance, as 1) the sucker is pretty big, and 2) you need room to position the fan over it. BTW, it is quiet, but not silent, when you run the fan at low speeds. Crank the fan up, and it is as noisy as anything else out there.
