“Zalman have updated their premium low-profile cooler, CNPS8000A. The new CNPS8000B now has a 92mm PWM fan and offers better performance than its predecessor.”

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 heatsinks is that they sometimes cannot be used in a lower profile chassis where space is at a premium. Zalman have successfully addressed this problem with the CNPS8000b without sacrificing performance.

At only 66 mm tall, the CNPS8000b is capable of cooling any CPU with which it is compatible. It does this with the aid of four C-shaped 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 PWM fan which has been designed to vary its speed depending on the temperature of the CPU. The minimum noise is only 20 dBA, but when the CPU is pushed to its limit, the fan speed can increase to provide more cooling. Of course this works in reverse; the fan speed will decrease as the temperature of the CPU drops. This method gives the user piece of mind knowing that when the CPU needs it, extra cooling is provided.
