Zalman CNPS 9900 MAX

Mounting the cooler is a fairly easy thing to do, though the motherboard needs to come out of the chassis. Now you first prepare the backplate, nuts need to be inserted in the holes for corresponding processor Socket, Socket 1156 in our case, which then are secured with a nut cap.

We mount the back plate and need to prep the cooler as some Intel clips needs to be mounted (shown below). You can already insert your processor and apply thermal paste. BTW the picture makes it look like there's a liter of it on there, which is not the case. Apply a drop or two, smear it out making sure you have a flat thin layer applied.

So at the cooler's base, we need to loosen four screws. Once done at each side, slide in either the AMD or Intel metal clip, fasten the screws again and then we can mount the cooler onto the motherboard.

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 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.
