This heatsink may seem minuscule, but there's no denying its colossal price to performance ratio. If you're thinking of dumping your stock chipset cooler, read on. 
ZALMAN is all about getting the best possible cooling performance while keeping the noise level as low as possible. If you use your computer often, and it is a noisy beast, you might in fact be used to it. Mmm, the constant humming at this point might even serve as white noise for you to sleep through! However, once you've dabbled in low-noise aftermarket cooling you'll realize how ridiculous that statement is. There is nothing better than turning your computer on and no longer hearing that annoying and irritating chipset fan that manufacturers insist on installing. Thankfully the trend as of late has been to install massive, passive heatsinks and heatpipes that sprawl all over the motherboard. The thing is, using these huge heatsinks means you risk blocking the installation of components like CPU cooling fans when you probably could've gotten the job done with a more traditional heatsink. That's where the ZM-NBF47 comes in, and today we'll be testing it on one hot chipset. The goal of this review is to supply you with as much information as possible about the cooling performance of the product versus competitors in the market. We'll be pitting the ZM-NBF47 against the popular ThermalRight HR-05 for a true showdown. Specifications
