Zalman CNPS 10X Quiet and Extreme review -
Product Gallery CNPS10X Extreme
Located at the top of the cooler is a fan controller which can slide in there. It can be left seated 'in' the cooler.
The controller can also be removed and placed in a more accessible place, outside of the case, thanks to an included extension cable. The controller can be used in auto and manual modes. It has three operating speeds ranging from 25 percent to 100 percent of the fan's capacity depending on the noise level you find acceptable. But even at the very lowest setting performance will remain really good as we'll show later on in the article.
That's a mirror lapped finish alright. The base is copper plus the nickel plating obviously. This cooler is looking brilliant, we expect it's performance to be grand. But let's have a look at the 10X Quiet shall we ?
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 Zalmans 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.
