The CNPS5X Performa is designed for users seeking a quieter, better performing, and more attractive solution than a stock cooler. If you are building a small form factor system or looking for a budget aftermarket cooler, this might be for you. If you are not sure, the reviews speak for itself.
Three heatpipes and aluminum fins are designed for maximum cooling while the PWM fan rapidly expels hot air out of the case.
Ultra-quiet 92mm fan with FSB bearing is equipped for minimal noise and excellent cooling.
The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Fan automatically adjusts fan speed (RPM) according to the CPU`s temperature.
Secure the bracket with push pins, adjust the lever on the heatsink, and you are all set. Super quick and easy.
The ZM-STG2M thermal grease optimizes the heat transfer from the CPU to the base of CNPS5X by sealing air pockets and creating a strong viscous bond between the CPU and the cooler.
CNPS5X accommodates a broad range of sockets.
Intel LGA 1150 / 1151 / 1155 / 1156 / 775
AMD FM2 / FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2
The cooler`s installation requires an unobstructed space of 127mm(L), 64mm(W), and 134mm(H), with the CPU as a central reference point. Please check if components such as ODD, VGA and PSU protrude into the required space.
