While I have to admit I was missing the fact you were stating the 9700 and not the 9500 (which the 9500 is mediocre), the fact that the Zalman is easily $20 more expensive than the Tuniq, and in Canada I can get the Ultra for $45, they both handily outperform either Zalman. If a high CFM fan is used on the Ultra, the temp difference is even higher.

Next time you feel like answering like a smartass Mr Aztec_elite, think twice about it. Do not flame me or any other member. There is no need for it and next time you will receive a warning for it. I did not attack you personally or flame you. Do that kind of garbage in a PM if you feel it is needed.

No matter what, the Zalman is very overpriced and can be easily outperformed by a much cheaper unit. Period.
