Zalman CNPS 14X Review
Introduction and Technical Specification
Published: 28th November 2012 | Source: Zalman | Price: £34.99 |
Introduction
When we think of Zalman coolers we perhaps first call to mind the horizontal cylinder types, often respledant in their natural copper, or perhaps the smaller "top down" rose style coolers. But that's not to say that Zalman don't do the "Big twin stack" type cooler, or for that matter sealed unit water coolers. With the CNPS we see Zalman mount a very quiet 140mm fan centrally between two large heat-sink fin stacks, with six copper pipes feeding the heat up from the polished copper base plate and away from your toasty CPU. Although quite large the CNPS 14X has a relatively simple design with little in the way of bling. We thinks Zalman may be going for substance over style.
