Extreme design for extreme cooling

Out with flowers and in with towers - Zalman's new CNPS10X EXTREME Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler is destined to put Zalman back at the top of the tree as far as efficient CPU cooling is concerned. Although arguably not as "pretty" as their older Flower Cooler design, the cooling benchmarks speak for themselves and there can be no question that the CNPS10X EXTREME is going to rock the market in the new decade ahead.

At the heart of its design, the CNPS10X EXTREME consists of an optimally designed stack of black pearl nickel-plated aluminium fins which disperse heat away from the processor via five heatpipes. The high-capacity ultra quiet 120mm fan then quickly cools the fins, condensing the liquid inside the sealed heatpipes so that the process can be continually repeated. The CNPS10X EXTREME provides fast and effective cooling for processors with a thermal output of up to a massive 340 watts of heat!

PWM Mate - brand new fan speed control system

Of course cooling isn't everything - you have to be able to live with the acoustic noise produced by the fan on any CPU cooler, and this is where the CNPS10X really excels in its versatility. Supplied in the box is Zalman's new PWM Mate (patent pending) - the world's first RPM controllable PWM fan speed controller. It can be clipped into the top of the cooler for neatness of installation, or for ultimate control you can install it on the exterior of your PC case using the included extension cable and double-sided sticky pad.

In automatic mode, the PWM Mate can be set to operate up to a choice of three maximum fan speeds - 1500, 1950 and 2150 RPM. The CNPS10X fan speed will then be automatically adjusted according to CPU temperature from 1000 RPM up to that maximum speed of your choosing. So when your computer is idling, it will be very quiet. But at the same time you have the peace of mind that when the CPU is really working hard, it will enjoy the safety of extra cooling as needed. And of course, your choice of maximum fan speed is remembered by the PWM Mate even when the PC is switched off and back on again.

Alternatively, you may like to run the fan at a fixed speed (manual mode), and here the speed of the fan can be adjusted from 1000-2150 RPM using the manual speed dial on the PWM Mate. This method is a good choice where you are using a processor with a reasonably low thermal output and you find that even at high CPU loads and low fan speeds, processor temperature is perfectly acceptable. Or you may prefer to run the fan at a fairly high fixed speed, to maintain a minimum CPU temperature under all circumstances, for example if you are trying to establish a maximum stable overclock setting.
