A Zerotherm 120mm HSF with a standard fan (or two)!

Zerotherm is well known as a butterfly HSF maker that uses proprietary fans. It has finally broken that mold; a new 120mm HSF (Zen FZ120) is distinctly non-butterfly and uses standard 120mm fans (1 or 2): see here.

edit: The German site Hartware has already reviewed it; results here.

edit2: added "(or two)" to subject line.

Sweet, loks like Nirvana, except you can change the fan... *drools* I might get one and see how well NCB fan does with that beauty...

Yep, we have it tested vs. TRUE (in Romanian, but are some pictures).
E6600 (FPO L627B) @ 3600MHz @ 1.43v
It seems a very good HS.

I'm sure its great at cooling, but not ideal for silencers. Close fins and that wavy design increases turbulence, which is good for cooling but bad for silencing.

Now reviewed by FrostyTech, showing excellent performance both for cooling and noise. What really interests me is that the HSF can be mounted in any 90 degree direction on an AMD board - something that the Xigmatek 1283 can't do.

The attachment is probably similar with Noctua's puzzle, which also allow Noctua Towers 90 degree changes on AM2...
