Zalman CNPS10X Performa Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler
Building on the success of the CNPS10X coolers, Zalman have released their fourth cooler in the CNPS10X range, the Performa! It provides support for the latest Intel and AMD motherboards, while the supplied 120mm fan, along with the heatpiped heatsink, will be able to cooler any desktop CPU you dare to throw at it. You can even increase the cooling potential by adding a second 120mm fan if desired.
Features
- Zalman’s Performance version of the CNPS10X
- Supplied with one fan, but accommodates two
- Includes Zalman’s ZM-STG2M thermal compound
- PWM Fan Speed Resistor
- Compatible with Intel LGA2011/1366/1155/1156/775 and AMD FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2. LGA2011 Compatibility with ZM-CS2011.
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.
The CNPS10X Performa - Dual Fan Support
The cooler is supplied with one 120mm fan. If you wish a second 120mm fan can be added to help increase performance. Extra fan clips are provided.
The CNPS10X Performa - Differentiated Design
Differentiated from typical U-shaped heatpipe coolers, a central band of rippled aluminium fins adds a sleek and cool aesthetic look.
The CNPS10X Performa - 180mm Wide Case Compatibility
For optimum case compatibility the height of the heatsink is 152mm which ensures compatibility with cases that are 180mm or wider.
The CNPS10X Performa - Versatile Compatibility
The CNPS10X Performa is compatible with a broad range of sockets. Intel LGA1155/6, 1366, 775; AMD AM3, AM2+, AM2.
LGA2011 Compatibility - Zalman have release the ZM-CS2011 that makes it possible to install this cooler onto LGA2011 motherboards.
The CNPS10X Performa - High Performance Super Thermal Grease ZM-STG2M
The high performance super thermal grease ZM-STG2 maximises heat transfer from the CPU to the base of CNPS10X Performa for intensified cooling performance.
The CNPS10X Performa - PWM Fan Speed Resistor
When connected to the resistor cable (RC24P), the input voltage of the PWM Fan can be adjusted to control the fan speed and noise level according to the user preference.
Quiet Mode (RC24P Connected): 900-1350RPM / 17-24dBA ±10%
Performance Mode (RC24P Not Connected): 900-2000RPM / 17-36dBA ±10%

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.
