Zalman CNPS9X Optima
 |
 |
One of the most popular universal CPU cooling systems from a Taiwanese manufacturer known for the quality of its products. It is positioned as an affordable mid-range product for 2018-2019, designed to replace factory cooling systems in order to improve heat dissipation and reduce noise levels. Differs in the ability to effectively dissipate a significant amount of heat, equipped with a spectacular LED-backlight.
It can cool the CPU with heat dissipation up to 180 W, which allows it to be used for moderate overclocking (without extreme increase in supply voltage). One of the important advantages of the Zalman CNPS9X Optima CPU cooler is its versatility. It is installed on motherboards with Intel LGA 115X/775 and AMD AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2/FM1 processor sockets. Equipped with four heatpipes that provide fast heat transfer from the CPU to the advanced aluminium fins. Direct contact technology improves heat transfer efficiency and further reduces processor core temperature. For airflow, a 120 mm fan with an improved Shark Fin Blade impeller, durable Rifle Bearing and LED backlight is installed. Thanks to the 4-pin connector and PWM technology, rotation speed control is supported in the range from 600 to 1500 rpm.

Inexpensive full size tower cooler
One of the most affordable full-size tower coolers (that is, with four tubes and a cooler diameter of 120 mm or more) is the Zalman CNPS10X Optima. If the Optima tubes are made of copper (there is no anti-corrosion nickel coating), then the fins are made of cheaper aluminium. However, all-copper tower coolers are a rarity. The body of the heatsink is made up of 47 aluminium plates, through which 4 copper 6mm heat pipes pass (and in this it is similar to the CNPS10X Optima).
shark fin
The blades, in the amount of 7 pcs, have a "shark fin" profile. According to Zalman, this improvement optimizes airflow, minimizes noise and vibration, and increases air volume. The popular fastening to the radiator with brackets on the one hand allows you to quickly mount / dismantle the fan, on the other hand, due to the lack of damping elements, a small vibration is transmitted to the radiator and from it to the case of the system unit.
Quiet and efficient
The speed of its rotation is controlled by the method of pulse-width modulation (PWM) in the range from 600 to 1500 rpm. The air flow can reach 103.6 m3 per hour. At the same time, even at high speeds, the CNPS9X Optima can hardly be called loud. According to the passport, the maximum is 26 dBA. The fan is equipped with a threaded plain bearing. Provided with white LED lighting. It's a shame she doesn't turn off. Taking into account all of the above, as well as a reasonable price and a maximum TDP of 180 W, Zalman CNPS9X Optima can be safely recommended for mid-level gaming builds in which moderate overclocking is planned.
