ZALMAN CNPS20X and CNPS17X Spotted

It has been silent in regards to Zalman for many years now, but from the looks of it they want to make a comeback as they will be releasing two high-end air-coolers.

The CNPS17X and CNPS20X can be used on high-end processors, and follow the standardized heatpipe aluminum find design really. Armed with Reverse Direct Touch, or simply the Direct Touch heat pipes they should perform well. The CNPS17X has five, while the two CNPS20X towers. Fans wise you're looking at a ZM-SF140 fan, which rotates @ 800 ~ 1500rpm for an air flow of 61CFM. The CNPS17X measures 160mm in height only, for 700g, while the CNPS20X weighs 1300g for a height of 165mm. Both are compatible with all recent sockets, except the TR4, and are announced for 200W and 300W.

Well, 300W is quite impressive as a max spec for the dual tower version. Sound like it could be as good or better than Noctua NH-D15/D14.
