Funny, because it not only cost more than a TRUE but a stock TRUE beat it by roughly 4C.

Coolers that don't make push/pull available out of the box make me sad.

If you look closely, the fan is between the fins - and by definition making it a push/pull cooler

The TRUE and Mega don't have fan controllers though right? And they don't look as nice. And the Zalman only has 1 fan, not 2?!

Look at the Noctua, comes with pre-made fan wires to decrease fan speed and the LGA775 model only uses one fan (identical otherwise). I don't think it looks particularly good either.

Getting defensive are we?
The reason the true and mega don't have fan controllers is because they don't have fans. Take into mind that their price allows you to get a fan that can blow the Zalman's out of the water.
Let's face it. It's Zalman, overpriced junk.

Defensive? Look at my sig rig and tell me if I care if this fan is good or not. I was bringing up a potential argument in support of Zalman. They've released 18 fans so far, and I was hoping this would be the first one that didn't suck.

Its not the best cooler out there but its good enough for myself to consider for a future upgrade especially if on sale. In all I give it an 8/10.

I like it, so what? Cry about it.
