Another CPU cooler is about to enter the market, this time from Zalman called the CNPS5X. Supporting both Intel (LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA775) and AMD (AM3, AM2+, AM2) processors, the cooler comes equipped with a copper base, three 8mm copper heatpipes and a 92mm fan that works at 1400 to 2800 RPM. heat pipes converge at a copper CPU base. The 92 mm fan is nested inside the aluminum fins. It spins at 1400~2800 rpm, with a rated noise level of 20~32 dBA. Together, the CNPS5X measures 127(L) x 62(W) x 134(H) mm, weighing 320 g. Installation is made easy by push-pins for Intel sockets, and a fixed clip for AMD sockets, requiring no access to the back of the motherboard.
The CNPS5X will become available in December for 26.90 Euro (about $37).
