ZALMAN CNPS 10X PERFORMA BLACK available in an all black design
As reported earlier back in May a new model of side-flow type CPU cooler was released in an all-black design, that excludes any kind of rgb as well.
The rigid CPU cooler eliminates decorations such as LED light emission. The cooling fan, heat dissipation fins, and heat pipes are all painted black. The fearless appearance makes us feel that the cooling capacity is high.
The mounted fan is a 135mm "annular blade fan". EBR bearings are used to prevent dust from entering, and a large amount of air is blown onto the heat sink with a low noise level. The rotation speed is 700 to 1,500 rpm ± 10%, the other noise level is 27 dBA ± 10%, the maximum air volume is 75.16 CFM, the static pressure is 1.35 mmH2O, and the operating life is 50,000 hours.
There are a total of 4 heat pipes, and the copper material is exposed on the bottom of the pedestal. A direct touch heat pipe type that comes into direct contact with the CPU. The heat pipe bending angle also features a design in which the heat dissipation fins do not interfere with the memory slot.
The external dimensions are width 135 mm, depth 95 mm, height 155 mm, and weight about 860 g. Compatible sockets are Intel LGA 2066 / 2011-3 / 2011/1200 / 115x, AMD Socket AM4. It's priced roughly 40 USD/EUR/

It did very good at cooling my skt 939 x2 3800+ overclocked at 3ghz. Which was a really good overclock for that chip. Helped I had a good ASUS 939 Nforce 4 board.
