We’ve been speaking with Zalman’s engineers and they seem to think they have a winner on their hands with the CNPS9900 MAX. Part of their confidence comes from the ‘slightly larger than most’ 135mm fan, which they tell us will increase the CFM across the cooling fins. The fins themselves have a special Black-Pearl nickel plating which is also supposed to assist in the movement of thermal energy from your CPU to your chassis.
We tested the CNPS9900 MAX from Zalman, a rounded-shaped CPU cooler with three heatpipes and a 135 mm fan. Check it out!
Zalman's CNPS9900 Max is built with better heat conducting 'composite heatpipes,' a more robust mounting system, a larger copper base plate that is machined flat and a 130mm diameter fan. The face lift and design revisions aren't cosmetic, the CNPS9900 Max heatsink performs much better than its forerunner and offers very good low noise cooling too. Like most Zalman heatsinks, the CNPS9900 Max is based off entirely original design concepts; two radial fin arrays surrounding an inset 130mm PWM fan that draws air past one set of cooling fins before exhausting it through the second.
Today we are testing another cooler from Zalman, CNPS9900 NT. Its design is curious, with two circular heatsinks with heatpipes shaped like the Greek letter Ω (omega) with a 120 mm fan between them. But what about performance? Let's check it out in this review.
Let’s test one more model of the Zalman CNPS9900 family of CPU coolers: the CNPS9900DF, which has three heatpipes, a 140 mm fan and a 120 mm fan, both with LEDs.
Zalman releases another 9900 series CPU cooler. Take the time to see what makes the CNPS9900DF different than the rest.
Zalman's CNPS9900DF heatsink is a twin tower cooler that stands 154mm tall and is built around three 6mm diameter composite wick copper heatpipes. For a look inside a composite wick heatpipe, check this out. The CNPS9900DF comes with two fans, a 120mm intake fan that runs at a fixed speed of 1000RPM and a center, 135mm PWM fan than operates at 1400-900RPM. The center 135mm PWM fan operates at 1400RPM to 900RPM, thus even at its slowest speed airflow is pretty well balanced between the intake (front) fan and exhaust (center) fan. The open frames allow additional air mass to be drawn in from the sides as necessary.

Today we take a look at the newest cooler in the Zalman CNPS10x line up, the CPNS10X Performa. With five heatpipes and a high capacity 120mm fan it will be interesting to see how this cooler erforms on our Intel Core i7 test bench. Read on to see how it stacks up against its own predecessor the CNPS10X Extreme and more than a dozen other Intel Socket LGA 1366 processors!
Today we are looking the newest addition to the Zalman CNPS line up, the CNPS11X. The new CNPS11X is not your typical tower cooler. With a unique color and shape, Zalman has once again added a new spin to high performance air cooling. Join us as we see how Zalman's newest twist on the traditional tower cooler fares on our Intel Core i7 test bench.
