Zalman CNPS 9900 LED unboxing
Why do I keep repeating myself ? Well, we actually did test the cooler with the plastic shroud yet found out that on average our temperatures where higher, and so was the noise level. So be sure to remove it.
Once remove, it looks a hell of a lot better as well. The fan itself has a blue lit LED once powered on, and is roughly 12 CM in diameter. Ooh shiny. The splastic shroud ladies and gentlement is of course there to protect your fingers as well. So when you remove it, be careful.
One last photo before we are starting up some tests in both default and overclocked modes. Again, the cooler is compatible with Pentium 4, Celeron D, Pentium D, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme, Pentium Dual-Core, Core i7, Sempron, Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Opteron, Dual-Core Opteron, Phenom, Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core, Athlon X2 Dual-Core, Phenom II.
Let's test !
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.
