Zalman CNPS X10 CPU coolers

And here we have the CNPS 10X Quiet model. Roughly 10 EUR cheaper than the Extreme model. Yet it should be more silent but will come with roughly the very same performance level.

Here's a photo of the included kit, we see brackets and mounts for the entire scope of supported processor sockets: Intel socket 1156, 1366, 775 and AMD AM3, AM2(+), 940,939 and 754.

Also we see a little fan controller allowing you to set fan RPM 700 ~ 1400 rpm with the Fan Mate controller.  The Quiet comes with a Fan Mate 2 while the Extreme has a PWM Mate.

The fin and basic design is exactly the same as the Extreme, again we see that there are five heatpipes to be found in a U-shape. Thus the cooler should be able to draw an amazing 340W of heat (!). Dimensions are measuring at 130 x 93 x 157mm (W x D x H),

No Nickel plating for this cooler though, aluminum fins and a pure copper base. Again nicely mirror lapped.

Zalman CNPS 9900 DF review
We review the Zalman CNPS 9900 DF CPU cooler with Dual Fan. It's 2012 and Zalman is going strong on the concept and just when you think they can't change anything on that design ...

Zalman CNPS 12X review
The one that everybody remembers and still is going strong where the initial CNPS (Computer Noise Prevention System) CPU cooler, the copper somewhat rounded "butterfly" based coolers. That model has been the biggest success of all their coolers. Anno 2011 Zalman is still going strong on the concept and just when you think they can't change anything on that design they proof that a top notch new cooler based off that old design can still work out well and look gorgeous. The Zalman CNPS 12X comes with Zalman’s heat transfer solution by utilizing ‘composite heatpipe’ technology allowing a Q-Max of roughly 300W, along with a bigger design Zalman claims this cooler to be offering quiet operation and broad compatibility for Intel 2011/1156/1155/1366/775 & AMD AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2.

Zalman CNPS 9900 MAX review
Zalman decided to reintroduce the CNPS 9900 model one more time, slightly updated tagged with MAX.

Zalman CNPS 10X Quiet and Extreme review
Zalman recently released a new series of CNPS (Computer Noise Prevention System ) heatpipe based coolers. The new 10X coolers include five nice big heatpipes being cooled by a grotesque120mm fan. The PWM Fan comes with RPM Control which allows you to fine tune the cooler to your specific cooling requirements. And all that in a nice design and not too huge (in dimension) sized cooler. We will put two out of the three to the test namely the CNPS10X Extreme and CNPS10X Quiet. Both coolers impressed us a lot.
