CNPS8000 Ultra Quiet Low Profile CPU Cooler [Discontinued] (1 customer review) - Review

£25.21 (£29.62 inc. VAT)

Because CPUs are getting hotter and hotter, we have seen heatsinks getting bigger and bigger to cope with the cooling demands. The problem with very large heatsink is that they sometimes can not be used in lower profile chassis where space is at a premium. Zalman have successfully addressed this problem with the CNPS8000 without sacrificing performance.

At only 62.5mm tall the CNPS8000 is capable for cooling any CPU it is compatible with. It does this with the aid of four heatpipes that transfer the heat from the copper base to the top edge of the fins. This allows the whole heatsink to be used more efficiently.

Attached above the heatsink is a legendary Zalman 92mm fan and when it is connected to the supplied FANAMTE2 the maximum noise level is 30 dB(A), but running the fan at that noise level will not be necessary for most users. The slowest setting, at just 18 dB(A), will be more than adequate and if you are unsure how loud 18 DB(A) is; you will need to put your ear next to the fan to be able to hear it!
