Zalman steps out of the quiet computing zone and into the performance light with the CNPS 10X Extreme heatsink.

    Just a bump. This heatsink did EXTREMELY well in Hard's latest Socket 1366 roundup.

    Zalman coolers are always very high quality and decent performers. CNPS10X is no different; Zalman released a very good tower cooler. The real hilight, imho, is the COGAGE TRUE Spirit which is a derivative of TRUE-120 in the HardOCP review. TRUE coolers are still at the top (or close to top) in every review. How old is that design now?

    Agreed. The TRUE is pretty awesome and its derivative is no different. You can't argue with the price of the Cogage cooler.

    That review is missing the BARAM and Xigmatek Thor's Hammer. I'd like to have seen how they stack up too.

    I agree there are some very good heatsinks missing in the review. Among the included heatsinks, Prolima Megahelms is also one cooler that deserves attention. Just like TRUE coolers there; have you noticed that its performance is better when overclocked?

Hey, be nice. Icrontic is full of good people, we promise.
