 The CNPS5X uses one less heatpipe and is orientated differently than most previous models. As a tower cooler, the CNPS5X is quite compact compared with some of the other CPU tower coolers available. This is ideal if space is at a premium within the chassis or if you just want to cool a sub 100W CPU.

Powerful Cooling Performance
Three heatpipes and aluminum fins are designed for maximum cooling while cooler setup quickly expels hot air out of the case.
Ultra Quiet 92mm Fluid Shield Bearing Fan
An ultra quiet 92mm fan with FSB bearing is incorporated for minimized noise and excellent cooling.
PWM Fan Control
The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Fan automatically adjusts fan speed (RPM) according to the CPU’s temperature.
Easy Installation
The cooler is designed with tool-less installation clip, making installation convenient.
Versatile Compatibility
CNPS5X accommodates a broad range of sockets.
Intel LGA 1155 / 1156 / 775
AMD FM1 / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2 Attached to the heatsink is a legendary Zalman 92mm PWM controlled fan which has a maximum noise level of 30 dB(A). However, running the fan at that noise level will not be necessary for most users as only CPUs above 100W will run the fan at this speed. If you use a sub 100W CPU, the slowest setting at just 20 dB(A) will be more than adequate. If you are unsure how loud 20 DB(A) is; you will need to put your ear next to the fan to be able to hear it! As already mentioned, the CNPS5X is ideally suited to sub 100W CPUs. You may think this means that it is not able to cool the fastest CPUs available, but this not entirely true! Intel's Sandy Bridge (socket LGA1155) CPUs are compatible. In fact at the time of writing, the CPUs are all 95W or lower, making the CNPS5X ideally suited to quietly cool these CPUs. |
