Optimally designed aluminum fins disperse heat away from the CPU via six high performance heatpipes by utilizing I.H.D technology, while the high capacity 120mm Triple fan quickly cools the heatsink for stable operation of high performance CPUs.
*I.H.D: Interactive Heatpipe-transfer Design
Switching noise eliminated! 120mm Triple Fans incorporated for ultra quiet operation and blue LEDs for cool aesthetics.
*"Switching noise" is the high frequency harmonic noise that can result from voltage regulation.
Optimized dual heatsink, applying Variable Fin Profile (V.F.P) technology, maximizes it's performance through a dual air-intake structure that increases airflow.
*Radiator Surface Area: 9,635cm²
*Noise: 22dBA ±10% (with RC5)
As applying W-DTH - Whole-Direct Touch Heatpipes - technology, heatpipes in the Base Cover touch the CPU directly and transfer the CPU's heat directly to heatpipes, thereby minimizing heat resistance and maximizing cooling performance in a short time.
By utilizing Composite Heatpipes, the heat transfer capacity is enhanced by 50% compared to the ordinary sintered-type heatpipes.
*Composite Heatpipe: Featuring a "Sintered Metal" type wick, resulting in outstanding capillary pumping performance, and a high thermal conductive design of "Axial Grooves" which increase the heat transfer rate.
The entire heatsink of CNPS12X is plated with "Black-Pearl" Nickel for a long-term corrosion resistance, while the deep "Black-Pearl" tone along with the high intensity Blue LEDs reinforce its powerful aesthetics.
CNPS12X accommodates a broad range of sockets including Intel's upcoming LGA 2011 socket, as well as AMD's sockets.
LGA 1150 / 2011 / 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775
FM2 / FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2
Moreover, thanks to highly optimized heatsink design, CNPS12X is able to be compatible with a Mid -Tower Case with its width is 180mm or wider.
The included all new high performance thermal grease ZM-STG2 maximizes heat transfer from the CPU to the base of CNPS12X for intensified cooling performance.
The cooler's height is 154mm, and it can be installed in midsized cases which measure 180mm in width.
