Installation was child's play, at least for my socket 939 CPU. You simply interlock the mounting clip pieces around the base plate and clip the heat sink onto the stock motherboard retention frame. You do need to check the clearance on your motherboard capacitors and any heat sinks sprinkled around the motherboard. On the DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D, one of the heat pipes barely cleared a mosfet heat sink. Low profile coolers do have their drawbacks, and the CNPS8000 is no exception. Users with Intel CPUs must replace the retention frame. Installing the VF900 is just as straightforward as the CNPS8000. You lay it on a flat surface, put some thermal paste on the GPU and line all the little pieces up the way its shown in the exploded installation view in the user manual. The user manual is very well written and has plenty of step-by-step explanations and illustrations so that even the biggest noobs won't have a problem.

The Zalman CNPS8000 is pegged as a low noise, low profile heatsink ideal for compact computers, largely because it stands just 63mm tall. Aluminum fins, four sintered metal wick copper heatpipes and a forged copper base form the basis of what is called the CNPS8000 heatsink. A 90mm fan spins quietly at the center of it all, and with Zalman's Fanmate 2 fan speed controller noise can be reduced even further for true silent cooling. The Zalman CNPS8000 heatsink is compatible with all current AMD Athlon64 processors (754/939/940), and in particular the just introduced 940-pin processor socket AM2 processor and its revised 'M2' heatsink retention frame.
