Zalman CNPS10X Extreme Universal Heatsink Review

news · July 10, 2009

With several different CPU socket types currently on the market, it may be

difficult to right a decent third-party heatsink that will meet a power

user's overclocking and cooling needs. While there are numerous cooling

solutions available, Zalman's CNPS10X Extreme might be one to consider with

its support for LGA 1156, 1366, 775, AM3, and AM2+. They also threw in a

removable fan controller that can be mounted outside of the case. Let's see

if this heatsink can take the air cooling crown away from its older brother

the CNPS9900 LED.

Quote: "This heatsink exceeded our expectations and its universal

compatibility will make it even more appealing to high-end users and other

PC enthusiasts looking for a strong air cooled heatsink solution. The

layered fin array and black-pearl nickel plated coated definitely added to

its asthetics and overall craftsmanship. The unique fan controller is

definitely a staple for Zalman and one I'm sure they will continue to

produce in future heatsink products."

Thanks for a post!
