I did see the Zalman 9900 will work with the AM3 but I wasn't impressed at all with the 9700 on my 9650. As for the reviews on the chip they were socalled pro reviews you know like TPU, Toms hardware which I take with a grain of salt anyways LOL... and a few others but the chip was just getting smoked by the 9550 and the i7 920. Hell... even the x4 940 was kickin it's ass in some things LOL.

But if anyone finds some good reviews on it, i'm still looking... It would sure make me feel a lot better because it's too late now to cancel the orders. But one thing i'm not worried about are the two 4870 x2 cards.... think i'm gonna like them.
