Zalman 9500 LED

Hey guys first up, will say this this review is done on my local website. Aint doing advertisement here, more of looking for constructive criticism about the reviewing method.

The guy who's done the review is "under my wing" in a sense, been whipping him into shape ala "jaydee" style till he produced this review which was I felt was well enough to be posted online and risk being posted here especially.

First off, I know that the thermal sensor is bullshit using an Aerogate. that makes the temps all questionable especially here on ProCooling.

Secondly, no repeated mountings to average out the data individually on the three heatsinks.

What else would there be?

I am still in the process of fixing up the die sim that will be used to test heatsinks ( I dare not test waterblocks) and its having the die itself being shaved down a couple of mm^2 before its ready.

Till then, please by all means have a go at the review and let me know what can be improved besides the two I've mentioned above so that heatsinks can still be tested before the die is ready.

As for the Zalman 9500. Its pretty decent, but not all that impressive. Prefered my older Hyper6 for sheer overclocking stability, but this guy does almost the same quieter.
