Bundle o' Goodies
|
This bundle is complete. The FS-C77 comes with everything you need to mount it on Socket 478, 775, 754, 939 & 940 platforms. If you've got anything newer than a Socket A processor, you'll be good to go. The package includes a back plate for Socket 754, 939 and 940 platforms as well as non-conductive washers, mounting screws, and some S-Type and L-Type clips for mounting the heatsink. It also includes a couple of nipples to ensure that you get the proper tension on the clip. If you're an Intel user, you'll have to use one of the other retention frames then carry on from there. Thankfully a manual was included . . . more on that later.

1. Intel Pentium 4 (Socket 775/478), AMD Sempron / AMD64 (Socket 754/939/940) compatible design for broad compatibility.
2. 120mm fan (with red LEDs) mounted in the heatsink for maximum cooling efficiency.
3. Wide reach of air flow simultaneously cools the VGA card, Northbridge, FET, and RAM.
4. Pure Copper base material ensures excellent heat dissipation.
Closer Look:
The Zalman FS-C77 is a large cooler that sports a 120mm fan inside a spread of copper fins. The fan contains several red LED's and has a soft glow when under load.
Unlike the CNPS9500 LED HSF we reviewed recently, the FS-C77 doesn't include any fan controller. This is somewhat disappointing, and therefore fan controll will have to be done via BIOS settings or fan controlling software.

The base of the heatsink is very flat and quite smooth. When you click on the "Base Finish" picture below, you will be able to see where the fins are sandwiched together. In theory, this would allow a possibility of poorer thermal transfer than a base from a solid piece of copper, but we'll see how it performs in a few minutes.

Zalman Pride
|
Each of the 126 fins on this heatsink are stamped with the name Zalman. It's good to see that they take pride in this unit. Hopefully, their pride will be well founded. I honestly have my doubts. It's larger than the CNPS9500 LED, but it doesn't have heatpipes, so it should be an interesting test. Head over to the next page for a look at our test setup, then the performance numbers.
