More power! That’s the cry of case modders and tweakers across the land. With that power comes more heat, generated by drives, CPUs, GPUs, sound cards and RAM. To deal with all that heat, various solutions have been developed, and one of these is the heatsink. Here, Rosewill combines a heatsink setup of six pure copper heatpipes, 52 aluminum fins, and a huge 3.6” fan to keep you cool even in the hottest gaming action. If you like to show things off, you can light it up with 4 blue LEDs to show off its cooling power.

This amazing unit runs at nearly 61cfm, and at only 18-37dB(A). It supports Intel’s PWM, or you can control the performance directly with Rosewill’s special fan controller. It’s compatible with LGA 775 Dual Core, LGA 775, AMD Athlon 64 socket 754, 939 and 940 motherboards, and comes backed with Rosewill’s reputation for solid construction and reliability. Chill out and get yourself the Rosewill RCX-Z3!

Unique Cooling Performance Six high performance heatpipes maximize heat transfer for the highest level of cooling performance.
Pure Copper Base A pure copper base maximizes heat absorption and transfer for excellent cooling.
Adjustable Fan Speed A bundled fan speed controller enables control of noise and fan speed for exceptional cooling and quietness.
4 Blue Fan LEDs Four blue LEDs provide brilliant illumination while the fan is in operation for eye-catching fun.
Universal Socket Compatibility As an all-in-one solution for PC systems, the Rosewill RCX-Z3 features broad compatibility with all AMD socket 754, 939, 940 and Intel LGA775 platforms.

{No Eli} 1/28/2013 6:04:47 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Awesome Pros: It keeps my Cpu very cool im talking 26-33 degrees C It has been running 5 years and for the most part does good. Cons: Very heavy, Large, Loud and the lights only lasted about 3 years, lol. The fan control also went out and I had to plug it in direct to the motherboard till I bought a replacement control. Other Thoughts: I would buy it again If it was still in stock and Cheaper but for now I want a new one for my lights. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Ruli's 4/12/2009 10:28:35 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good fan, better customer service! Pros: Fan keeps my Q6600 chill. I'm OC.g it to 3 GHz and holds at ~53 degrees C on a full load. Good design and great price. I had lost my bracket for this CPU fan months ago in a move. While building my computer back up I couldn't find the bracket. I asked Rosewill if I could buy a replacement one since I spent $50 for the fan already. They went ahead and shipped me the complete box (without the fan of course) which included all the mounting hardware, they paid over $18 in shipping alone out of courtesy, how cool is that! And they didn't charge me for the bracket or mounting hardware either. Cons: zilch Other Thoughts: It's hard to find companies that take care of their customes like this anymore. Rosewill rocks! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/7/2009 6:28:49 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Easy to install heatsink. Pros: This was the first heatsink I have installed. It was very easy to install, although I had to dremel away 1/4" of the mounting bracket on one end. I have a Compaq Presario AMD 64 and did not have to remove the mother board. It is very quiet, which was one of the reason I chose a larger heatsink than I really needed. It is so quiet that I can hear the hard drive every now and then. Very impressed with purchasing from Newegg. If I had a case that would allow for viewing the lights, it would be quite pretty given the heatsink is blue and the power supply is red. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Looking forward to purchasing more items from Newegg. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
SuperCumulo 4/7/2009 6:18:34 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5w000ttt Pros: it looks awesome at night, it was quite simple to install, it fits perfect on my intel motherboard LGA 775. Cons: doesn't dance :( Other Thoughts: it is better not to have it working at its maximum potential all the time, otherwise the thermal paste will be dissipated by the heat. Try to keep it in the middle. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Izzle 3/17/2009 3:57:46 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5It's a monster Pros: Made for overclocking. This thing is probably the best air-cooling you can buy. Cons: It's huge. Make sure you measure before you buy. Other Thoughts: Cool blue light if you're into showing off. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Cons: - Hard to install ( shrews are very hard to get on). - Confusing plugs (it was simple, but took awhile to figure out what went where). - Directions are bad.

Blazerfan 3/6/2009 3:22:56 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Awesome Cooling Solution Pros: I love the way this thing looks, it's not too bright and not too dim. It has screw holes on the back of the shroud so you can mount a 2nd 92mm fan (which of course I did). The fan speed control is nice and smooth. Cons: The shroud does tend to collect dust but it's not terribly hard to clean, a can of air will do the trick. Other Thoughts: Antec 900 caseAntec 900 case w/ Antec Earthwatts 650 PSU BIOSTAR TA790GX A2+ AMD Phenom 9600 2.3Ghz OC'd to 2.5Ghz Rosewill RCX-Z3 2GB OCZ Platinum 1066Mhz DDR2 Sapphire HD 4870 1GB Windows XP I've had this guy since October and I'm very satisfied.
