ZALMAN CNPS10X Flex CPU Cooler Review - ZALMAN is back with a new CPU air-cooler. This one sports a plethora of supported CPUs, tons of heatpipes, and a sleek new design while not weighing in so big that you must be concerned about it fitting inside your standard chassis. But now days air cooling comes down to performance and cost with so many in the market place.
ZALMAN continues its tradition of creating solid heat sinks designed for a myriad of uses. The CNPS10X Flex isnt going to win the top spot but thats not the point here. What we have is a versatile cooler that fits a large variety of sockets that can be tuned for quiet operation or maximum cooling performance based on the fan you pair it with. Probably the most overlooked detail here is the size of the CNPS10X Flex. While most coolers today are getting bigger and bigger to perform better, the CNPS10X Flex is downright slim by comparison. This makes it even easier to fit on most motherboards without fear of incompatibility. This is where this cooler earns the flex part of its name.
