This layout reduces airflow resistance and minimises the weight of the cooler. Minimized noise and vibration Minimized noise and vibration through lowest rpm. Suitable for silent system environment.

Silicone pin provided Silicone pin absorbs the vibration between the fan and the case allowing a quiet work environment. Powerful Cooling Performance Optimally designed pure copper fins effectively disperse heat away from the CPU via heatpipes, while the high capacity mm fan quickly cools the heatsink for stable operation of high performance CPUs. A single 6mm diameter copper heatpipe is exposed at the base plate where it makes direct contact with the CPU, that heat pipe then loops around the body of the fan-shaped heatsink to conduct heat energy out to the fins.

The cooling fins and plate, however, are both made from aluminum which has been copper plated. If you're building a small form factor home theatre PC, or working with a rack mount 1U chassis that is severely height restricted, Zalman's CNPS2X heatsink might be just up your alley. Based on Frostytech's thermal test results we'd recommend limiting it to use on sub 95W TDP processors though.

Heat transfer from the lone heatpipe is exceptionally important for this small cooler. Zalman have added a ring of solder around the circumference of the cooling fins to solder the heatpipe and ensure a good thermal joint for heat energy to conduct across. The CNPS2X is probably the smallest cooler available on the market today that is capable of cooling processors up to W. It uses DTH-S bending technology and as a result it creates optimal heat dissipation.
