Specifications and Features

 

Specifications

As stated, the CPU cooler follows in the footsteps of the older 9900 CNPS series, let's have a peek at the manufacturer's supplied specs and features of this cooler.

Features

  • Powerful Cooling Performance [Qmax: 300W] - Optimally designed pure copper fins effectively disperse heat away from the CPU via composite heatpipes, while the high capacity 135mm fan quickly cools the heatsink for stable operation of high performance CPUs. CNPS9900 MAX utilizes Composite heatpipe which is 50% more effective in transferring heat compared to ordinary heatpipes.
  • Ultra Quiet 135mm Blue/Red LED Fan - An ultra quiet 135mm fan is incorporated for minimized noise. The Blue/Red LEDs heighten the cool aesthetics.
  • Black-Pearl Nickel Plating - The entire copper heatsink of CNPS9900 MAX is Nickel Plated for long-term corrosion resistance, while the deep Black-Pearl tone along with the high intensity Blue/Red LEDs reinforce its powerful aesthetics.
  • PWM Fan Speed Control - The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Fan automatically adjusts fan speed (RPM) according to the CPU's temperature, while the included Resistor Cable (RC7P) provides the option of reducing the input voltage for overall reduction of fan speed and noise.
    ?¦ Quiet Mode (w/ RC7P): 900 - 1,500RPM / 18 - 27dBA ?}10%
    ?¦ Normal Mode: 900 - 1,700RPM / 18 - 30dBA ?}10%
  • 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 CNPS9900 MAX for intensified cooling performance.
