Zalman CNPS8000A Ultra Quiet Low Profile CPU Cooler
Description
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 CNPS8000A without sacrificing performance.
Features
1. Noiseless and vibration-free in silent mode, from 20dB
2. Four heatpipes for quicker heat dispersion
3. Optimised fins for high performance and low weight
4. Low profile cooler, only 66mm tall
5. FANMATE2 included
6. Socket LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA775, AM3, AM2+, AM2 compatible
At only 66 mm tall the CNPS8000A is capable for cooling any CPU it is compatible with. 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.
