ZALMAN Intros CNPS13X Black CPU Cooler
ZALMAN today introduced the CNPS13X Black tower-type CPU cooler. The company has a long line of side-flow tower type coolers, but this among the first with an illuminated and stylized top-plate as is contemporary. The cooler features a typical aluminium fin-stack tower type heatsink that's offset a little to its left side, to reduce intrusion of the fan into the motherboard's memory area. A nickel-plated copper base makes contact with the processor, from which five 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes pass through, conveying heat to the aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 120 mm ZALMAN AF120 fan.
The base features a reverse direct-touch heat pipe arrangement that reduces the space between the heat-source and the heatpipes, improving conductivity. The included fan features a hydraulic bearing that's rated for 40,000 hours, and features a webbed impeller that guides all of its airflow axially. It takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 69.12 CFM of airflow, with 2.01 mm H₂O static pressure, and a maximum noise output of 29.7 dBA. The top plate takes in 3-pin addressable RGB input. The ZALMAN CNPS13X Black is designed for a thermal load of 240 W. The cooler measures 135 mm x 79 mm x 159 mm (WxDxH), weighing 810 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.
