Zalman CNPS12X Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler

CNPS12X is the world’s first Triple Fan Solution. Optimized dual heatsink and applying V.F.P (Variable Fin Profile) technology maximizes its performance through dual air-intake structure that significantly increases air flow. By utilizing Composite Heatpipes, the heat transfer capacity is enhanced by 50% compared to ordinary sintered-type heatpipes.

Features

• Powerful Cooling Performance: Optimally designed aluminum fins disperse heat away from the CPU via 6 of high performance heatpipes by utilizing I.H.D (Interactive Heat pipe transfer Design) technology, while the high capacity 120mm Triple fans quickly cools the heatsink for stable operation of high performance CPUs.


• Ultra Quiet Triple Blue LED FAN: Switching noise eliminated 120mm Triple Fans incorporated for ultra quiet operation and blue LEDs for cool aesthetics. ‘Switching noise’ is the high frequency harmonic noise that can result from voltage regulation.
• VFP Dual Heatsink: Optimized dual heatsink, applying V.F.P (Variable Fin Profile) technology, maximized it’s performance through dual air-intake structure that increase air flow.
• W-DTH Base applied: As applying W-DTH(Whole-Direct Touch Heatpipes) technology, heatpipes in the base cover touch the CPU directly and transfer the CPU’s heat directly to heatpipes, thereby minimizing heat resistance and maximizing cooling performance in a short time.
• Composite Heatpipe applied: By utilizing Composite Heatpipes, the heat transfer capacity enhanced by 50% compared to the ordinary Sintered-type Heatpipes. Composite Heatpipe : Featuring a ‘Sintered Metal’ type wick, resulting in outstanding capillary pumping performance, and a high thermal conductive design of ‘Axial Grooves’ which increases the heat transfer rate.
• Black-Pearl Nickel Plating: The entire heatsink of CNPS12X is plated with ‘Black-Pearl’ Nickel for a long-term corrosion resistance, while the deep “Black-Pearl” tone along with the high intensity Blue LEDs reinforce its powerful aesthetics.
• Versatile Compatibility: CNPS12X accommodates a broad range of sockets including Intel’s newest socket LGA2011 as well as AMD’s sockets.
• High Performance Super Thermal Grease ZM-STG2: The included all new high performance thermal grease ZM-STG2 maximizes heat transfer from the CPU to the base of CNPS12X for intensified cooling performance.

Installation Instructions

The cooler’s installation requires an unobstructed space of 151mm(L), 132mm(W), and 155mm(H), with the CPU as a central reference point. Please check if components such as ODD, VGA and PSU protrude into the required space.

If the RAM memory’s height is over 40mm after inserting into the RAM slot, then 1 RAM slot cannot be used due to obstruction.
