Conclusion

  • The CNPS 9500LED is by far one of the most expensive air coolers on the market, retailing ~$75 USD its a give and take situation. Basically if you want a 1-10°C improvement over $50 coolers then it is a good deal because water cooling which is even more expensive will give you about 5-10°C cooler than the CNPS 9500LED and cost you around $200.
  • Great Temperatures
  • Great for Overclocking
  • Easy to Install
  • Quiet Fan
  • Variable Fan Controller
  • Expensive for Air Cooling
  • A little bulgy but I didn’t have any problems
  • Goes over the recommend maximum socket weight of 450g.
This cooler really can hold its own ground. Its revolutionary heat pipe to fins design is its great secret in cooling power. Its fan is quiet, and the provided fan controller makes it easy to control the speed and noise of the fan.

The Pure-Copper design is sturdy and high quality. I didn’t have any problems with mounting this in my Lian-Li case or in my Tsunami, because the cooler can be mounted in many different ways. The cooler's main competition in my review was the Cooler Master R80 water cooling kit, which goes for about $80, and gives you worse performance in most cases, plus it cost more. All in all I would say this in my personal favorite top three Air coolers.
