Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler



1. Summary

World’s First Triple FAN Solution

Powerful Cooling Performance VFP Dual Heat sink

W-DTH Base

High Performance Composite Heatpipe (Qmax: 350W)

Versatile Compatibility (S2011 and FM1 Ready)

Black-Pearl Nickel Plating

High Performance Super Thermal Grease ZM-STG2



2. Features

Optimally designed aluminum fins disperse heat away from the CPU via 6 of high performance composite heatpipe by utilizing I.H.D technology, while the high capacity 120mm Triple fans quickly cool the heatsink for stable operation of high performance CPUs.

※ I.H.D : Interactive Heat pipe transfer Design

Powerful Cooling Performance

Switching noise eliminated 120mm Triple Fans incorporated for ultra operation in minimized RPM and blue LEDs for cool aesthetics.

※ ‘Switching noise’ is the high frequency harmonic noise that can result from voltage regulation.

World’s First Triple LED FAN Solution



2. Features

As applying W-DTH(Whole-Direct Touch Heatpipes) technology, heatpipes in the Base Cover touch the CPU directly and transfer the CPU’s heat directly to heatpipes, thereby minimizing heat resistance and maximizing cooling performance in a short time.

CNPS12X accommodates a broad range of sockets including Intel’s upcoming socket LGA2011 as well as AMD’s sockets.

LGA2011/1366/1156/1155/775 FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2

Moreover, thanks to highly optimized heatsink design, CNPS12X is able to be compatible with a Mid -Tower Case with its width is 180mm or wider.

2. Features



By utilizing Composite Heatpipes, the heat transfer capacity enhanced by 50% compared to the ordinary Sintered-type Heatpipes.

※ Composite Heatpipe : Featuring a ‘Sintered Metal’ type wick, resulting in outstanding capillary pumping performance, and a high thermal conductive design of ‘Axial Grooves’ which increases the heat transfer rate.

7. Q&A

During CPU over-clocking, what is the maximum CPU wattage that CNPS12X can manage?

CNPS12X, with its powerful cooling performance, can effectively cool 350 watts of heat for stable operation of over-clocked high performance CPU’s.

What is the thermal resistance?

The CNPS12X thermal resistance is 0.08℃/W.

* Note: This thermal resistance value was obtained through tests performed on a ‘dummy heater’ and may be different depend on different testing equipments and in different environments.

What are the Minimum/Maximum values for Fan RPM and Noise Level?

[When RC5 connected]

- 850 ~ 1,100RPM ± 10% / Not measurable ~ 22dBA

[When RC5 not connected]

- 950 ~ 1,200RPM ± 10% / Not measurable ~ 24dBA

What is the fan type and lifespan of the fan’s bearings?

CNPS12X incorporates Long-life bearings and has a lifespan of over 50,000 hours.



7. Q&A

What CPUs are supported?

All single, dual and quad core CPUs based on Intel socket LGA2011/1155/1156/1366/775

All single, dual and quad core CPUs base on AMD socket FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2

What size must the case to be installed?

Mid-Tower cases or larger, with case on it’s width must be at least 180mm or greater can be used.

※ CNPS12X ‘s Dimension: 151(L) X 132(W) X 154(H)mm

※ To use cases with an ‘air guide’, the air guide must be removed.

After long term use, will the heatsink show signs of corrosion?

The CNPS12X’s entire heatsink is ‘Black-Pearl’ nickel plated. Therefore, its powerful aesthetic quality will be maintained without corrosion even after long term use.

What is the difference between the included ZM-STG2 and the ZM-STG1 thermal greases?

The newly developed ZM-STG2 is provided in a syringe type applicator without dilution for maximum

heat transfer performance and can be used approximately 3 times. ZM-STG1 is available in a brush

applicator with a compound to diluting agent ratio of 7:3 for application convenience.



7. Q&A

What is the maximum air flow capacity of the 120mm fan?

The CFM of CNPS12X is 140.45CFM(cubic feet per minute)

※ 1CFM = 28.317ℓ/mm

What is the RPM of CNPS12X’s Fan respectively?

CNPS12X has three fans, the RPM of FAN A(Front), FAN B(Center) and FAN C(Back) are as below.

FAN A & B take in air, and FAN C exhaust the inhaled air through the fan in the rear.

- FAN A : 1,100rpm[With RC5], 1,200rpm[Without RC5]

- FAN B : 1,100rpm[With RC5], 1,200rpm[Without RC5]

- FAN C : 850rpm[With RC5], 950rpm[Without RC5]

Should the Resistor(RC5) be connected?

The Resistor included in the product is not required to necessarily connected.

If the Resistor is not connected, the cooling fan runs faster and make a better performance than it is connected.

If you want a quiet environment, please use the Resistor(RC5).
