The CNPS10X Performa - Powerful Cooling Performance
Optimally designed aluminium fins disperse heat away from the CPU via five heatpipes. While the noise free high capacity 120mm fan quickly cools the heatsink for stable operation of high performance CPUs.

Customer Reviews
My first 'proper' cpu cooler. very impressed
I’ve never over clocked my PC before so have always stuck with the stock cooler thinking that it must be up to the job. I’m now gaming more and more and thinking about over clocking so took the plunge of a proper CPU cooler. I looked long and hard for the right cooler from good closed loop water coolers to silent fan less aftermarket coolers, eventually settling on this one as it is from a good manufacturer (same as my case which I really like) the price is very competitive and the performance to noise ratio seemed good. My first impressions were in two areas 1 F*****G hell it is HUGE, it will never fit in my case and 2 it seems really well made. I should also note that it was well packaged. After studying the manual, checking the dimensions and watching a few youtube vids I started the install. Tbh found it quite tricky as it has very similar fittings for a number of different CPU’s, but in the end it installed with no issues and sits really nicely on my MB and inside my case. As said before I’m no real over clocker but it certainly is a lot quieter than the stock cooler and every time I’ve check the CPU temps they are well under control. I have now started a small overclock and the cooler is well up to the task. I think that if I was in the in the same place again I would buy this one again. Recommended. Pertinent System Info: MB ASUS P8Z77-v pro, CPU i5 3770K 3.4Ghz, Case Zalman Z5.
