AMD_Me said:I own both an SLK-900U and a zalman CNPS7000CU. For me, my SLK-900U had a horribly finished base, and I lapped it. At the same noise levels, the Zalman seems to do about 10C (stability) better than the Slk-900U. With a torando on the Slk-900U for me, It preformed slightly beter than the CNPS 7000CU at a rediculous noise level. I also like the fact all zalmans have a mirror like base
